The CN had the ceremony for the "opening" of their new Memphis Harrison Classification Yard. VIPs gathered in this tent for the ceremony and Bar-B-Que luncheon and bus tours of the new facilities.

For the ceremony the CN positioned this very clean new GE on the by-pass track near the site of the tent.

This set of power was working the hump.

These two GP38s are working the south end of the yard. Note the difference in their paint schemes.

A couple of views of the new CN intermodal terminal southwest of the new Harrison Classification Yard. Note that the entrance has two lanes for CN and one for CSX.
