Regarding Yale (Memphis) Tennessee: I believe I have posted incorrect information. This should be the Southern Division, NOT EASTERN. My apologies for my dumnicity and for such blasphemy.
Great information. I found Brooks siding last time I was in Cape. I was looking for Brooks Junction. It looks like a good subject for modeling. I plan on going back to Brooks siding and looking for traces of the water tank,wye and etc. now that I know what to look for when I go down for Thanksgiving. Thanks from all of us, Dwain
