The Corinth and Counce Railroad, from Corinth, Mississippi to Counce,
Tennessee. To Yellow Creek is 9.9 miles. Now part of the Kansas City
Southern (Wasn't this the railroad that had a derailment while a train was
standing still? How did it survive?) No pictures found for Corinth, Miss....

Corinth, Mississippi 1.5 miles up the Ruslor Junction to Golden line. The
station built 1943 burned 1971. Originally Mississippi & Alabama RR, then
Alabama Western; Illinois Central; Gulf, Mobile & Ohio; Norfolk Southern.
The Battle of Shilo in the Civil War was fought over the railroad junction
at Corinth, Mississippi. This was the gateway to "the Western Theater." The
"Crossroads of the Confederacy" this was the junction between the Memphis &
Charleston Railroad and the Mobile & Ohio. See this page and see the
junction today: http://www.civilwaralbum.com/shiloh/corinth_sites2.htm
This is probably the original Corinth, Miss. depot in this 1862 photo, but
there is a chance it is Tupelo: http://www.bigcountry.de/shiloh2.jpg
The Confederates withdrew by the M&O from Corinth to Tupelo
