These Are the Best Train Routes in the South

"A classic southbound route that follows the Mississippi River and links the musical hubs of the Delta to New Orleans, offering a lazy, immersive way to experience the region’s musical and cultural history. Start points near lively Memphis music streets and hotel options adjacent to the central station make it easy to sample legendary clubs before a scenic journey through Delta towns with rockabilly and blues landmarks, civil-rights museums, and a terminal that drops you close to New Orleans’ live-jazz neighborhoods." - Caroline Eubanks Caroline Eubanks Caroline Eubanks is a Lowell Thomas Award-winning travel writer and the author of “This Is My South: The Essential Travel Guide to the Southern States.” Her work has been published by Condé Nast Traveler, Garden & Gun, Architectural Digest, and more.
