Railfanning the NS Memphis West District (Part 1)

From late May to mid-December 2023, I would make multiple visits to the Norfolk Southern Memphis West District. I would cover just about every spot along the line between Germantown & Sheffield. I originally had plans to cover the area around Harris Yard for one of my shots. However, unfortunately, going just about anywhere west of the Germantown, Cordova, or Bartlett areas is a hefty risk these days with skyrocketing crime in Memphis, so I opted to forego that spot for my personal safety. All in all, I think my many escapades on this end of the Chattanooga-Memphis rail corridor turned out alright. When time permits, I intend to cover more angles I may have missed on this line soon! I hope y'all enjoy!
