Meridian is indeed a big RR town. NS, KCS, M&B RR and Meridian Southern all coming together within a few blocks. Good view from the 22nd Avenue overpass down near the KCS office and Union Station. Amtrak's Crescent in both directions too. Probably warm enough down there this year to make train hopping decent this time of year, eh SLIC? I wouldn't want to get caught at it though. In Mississippi they still have chain gangs, real ones with cannon shot chained to your legs and real nifty striped and numbered prison clothes...
