If ...Interesting article on this unfortunate event. If you go to https://www.historicaerials.com/viewer you can trace the aerial route of the bus driver and train. The link has a date that goes back to as early as 1957 but like you said not much has changed in the area. In '57 you can still see the aerial view of the tracks and you may even follow the tracks as far as you like through Memphis using the viewer. Judging from the map, it looks like there were hardly any trees on either side of the track near Seward Rd back then (even less sparse in 1941) so I'm not sure how the driver did not see the train coming west off the distance had he been alert. I live in Cordova, TN and there is still a vacant train station that exists in the old historic downtown area. This station would've probably been the next stop for this train and would've only been a few minutes east of their destination before the tragic collision.tvarchiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016704914995971855noreply@blogger.com
