Memphis Central Station

545 South Main Street

Memphis, TN 38103

Opened: 4 October 1914

This station was built by the Illinois Central Railroad. It originally had five stub-end tracks and five through-tracks, and at various times served five different railroads. The IC was the only remaining tenant when Amtrak took over in 1971 and reduced service to one daily train. After flirting with demolition in the 1970s and 1980s, the station underwent a significant renovation and condominiumization in 1999. When I passed through in the 2000s and 2010s, the stub-end track area had been converted to passenger drop-off and parking for police vehicles, leaving only two through tracks along a single platform.
