Sponsored by the NRHS Memphis Chapter and Iowa Pacific Holdings, the "City of Grenada" crosses the Little Tallahatchie River north of Batesville, Mississippi, during the Friday night photo session. E8A #515 was disguised as Illinois Central 4035 for the weekend's charters along the original "Main Line of Mid America". This is what it might have looked like during the steamliner era as the IC's "Panama Limited" rolled south nearing its station stop in Batesville in the wee hours of the night.
