Light Rail In Memphis?

I couldn't believe my eyes when I passed by South Main and GE Patterson today. There, right in front of central station, was a light rail vehicle. When did Memphis get a light rail system?

Turns out the vehicle was on its way to Charlotte's new light rail system and was taking a break in Memphis. According to a Memphis Business Journal article this vehicle is typical of the vehicle that Memphis might use for its light rail system. It was nice to see a light rail vehicle in Memphis. Kinda makes imagining a system here easier. Here are some photos I took.
