Palmyra Tunnel         
The lone tunnel on R.J. Corman's Memphis Line is this one at Palmyra, Tennessee. The tunnel carries the Memphis Line under the bluff that overlooks the Cumberland River. The L & N lowered the floor of the tunnel in the early 1960's to allow passage of auto racks. They had considered daylighting the bore, but were unable to do so due to a cemetery being located on top of the hill.
