The
American Freedom Train in Memphis, Tennessee The train's 77th display city. The road to Memphis was the first real test of the MU-equipped 4449 controlling trailing diesels. The train displayed along the Mississippi River near Mud Island. Temporary tracks were laid across a busy street for the loco and train. Then the section across the street was pulled up, effectively stranding the train.
