Are there any good trainwatching spots in Memphis where we won’t be bothered?

Can’t promise you won’t be “bothered”.

My favorite train watching spot years ago was in the area just east of the Frisco and Harahan bridges, it is piblic roadways, but as mentioned in the previous posts, day time only and be careful. and the other place was an area just north of Crump Blvd and a couple of blocks west of Florida street. Puts you right alongside of Railroad Ave [local name for the rail lines leading from the Mississippi River bridges [ recomend day time watching only and again public streets but a very rough area[ there used to be a flagman’s shanty at that crossing and he provided hours of stories and some pretty good photo shots.
