Aulon Station
|
Abandoned NC&STL Railway
Route Between Memphis, Jackson & Bruceton
Aulon Station - Milepost ONI 224.1 (Page 1)
This view from the early 1950's shows NC&STL's City of Memphis GP-7 #754
eastbound at Aulon Junction approaching the Poplar Avenue grade crossing.
(this was before Poplar was elevated above all the railroad tracks here.)
When NC&STL converted the City of Memphis from steam to diesel power EMD
GP7s were assigned. Contributed by Bill Folsom & David Johnston.
I believe this picture was around 8:00 am while NC&STL's 1st class passenger train
no. 105 going east.

Removed switch at the beginning of the Cordova Branch to

Powering red light signal is standing beside
the former NC&StL tracks no longer cross the main line of
the CNIC/CSXT at Aulon Tower.
What a bizarre signal. Both views are looking west.
