Now all I have to do is figure out how to hook a scanner up to this thing and I'll be set. Won't be going down any gravel roads though.

"The Germantown Depot is a relatively small Depot with only 900 square feet. The railroad tracks were built out to Germantown in 1852 and the original Depot structure was built in 1858. The Memphis-Charleston operated here between 1852 and 1894, the Southern Railway system between 1894 and 1990, and the Norfolk Southern Railway continues to run here today. A fire in 1947 required Southern Railway to rebuild its structure to continue to serve the citizens of Germantown both for passengers and for freight." - Andrew Pouncey germantowntnhistory.org
