B Street looking west at Cordova Station. Note there is the letters read "MTM" under Cordova on the siding, MTM stands for Memphis Transportation Museum. The grass and dirt covered near 200-feet-long track siding beside the former main line for the small industry. The industry location may be former shockpens. "Clay shows at milepost 214 with Cordova at 213. The profile sheet shows 4 section houses at (213.2 south side of main) and the siding I called Clay starting at 213.0 and running on the south side of the main to about 214.4. It was a long siding. The Cordova station and stock pens were at 212.8 on the north side." Terry L. Coats
