The Corinth Railway Junction and the Crossroads Museum
This image shows the railway junction that made Corinth such a valuable target, during the Civil War. The viewer is standing on the tacks that were used by the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, looking toward the west. Today, these tracks are used by the Norfolk Southern Railway Company. The signal lights mark a railroad junction; the tracks heading to the right are now leased by the West Tennessee Railroad Corporation, and those to the left are used by the Kansas City Southern Railway Company. Today, the train station building houses the Crossroads Museum.Galleries:Corinth, Railroad TracksKeywords:corinth, crossroads museum, junction, kansas city southern railway company, memphis and charleston railroad, mississippi, mobile and ohio railraod, norfolk southern railway, railroad, railroad crossing, railroad tracks, railway, signal lights, west tennessee railroad corporationPhoto Location: Corinth, MississippiPhotographer: Dr. Roy WinkelmanDate of Photo: 10/31/2011Device Make: CanonDevice Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark IIExposure Time: 0.008F Number: 22Original Dimensions: 3744×5616Picture Orientation: PortraitGPS Coordinates: 34°56'03.32"N 88°31'20.17"WPicture Number: 20703
