Mississippi

O Brother Where Art Thou? (2000) – Canton, Jackson, Valley Park, Vicksburg, Yazoo City, D’Lo, Leland, Edwards

The train sequences were shot on the Columbus and Greenville Railway near Leland, MS. All of the cars were shipped first to Greenville by truck before being set up on the tracks. The hand car scene was filmed on the Kansas City Southerns' rail line at Edwards, MS. A song that is sung in the film mentions "...he's gone where the Southern cross the Yellow Dog". That refers to where two major rail lines cross and is at Morehead, MS. The lines still cross there today.
