Going under Poplar Avenue in Memphis, ES44DC units CSXT 5394 & 5248 pull a string of containers as CSX Y101 rolls through Aulon Junction en route to CSX Leewood Yard on the north side of town. The train enters enters the junction as a southbound CN freight rolls by under Poplar and Union Avenues. If you look closely, you can see the abandoned ROW of the former NC&StL in the center of the shot. That line once hosted the passenger run of the City of Memphis to Nashville and back many, many years ago.

Not those kind of dirty pictures, this is an eastbound empty "dirt train" headed for the CSX. This is the return move of train loads of contaminated soil from out east being sent to a disposal site served by the BNSF.
