Memphis: Frisco Station|Central Station in Sanctuary (Location)

Built on the site of the earlier Calhoun Street Station, Central Station in Memphis had 10 tracks when it opened in 1914. It would still have been a busy place when Fonzo and Virgil arrive there in Chapter 21, and even late at night Horace can buy a cup of coffee there while waiting for a train, though he "wished immediately that he had not," as it "lay like a hot ball" in his stomach throughout the three hours it took to get back to his house in Jefferson (221).
