    I happened to be out on the road for work this week and decided to head into town to get some pictures of a few of the old ACL and Southern depots in town.

    Union Depot: my understanding is that is was an terminal that specialized in movemnt of agriculture products. Date on the front of 1916.

    Nice. I like depots!

    Huge pile of tie plates. Is that from a renewal campaign? Or removal?

    Renewal. There is a secondary rail branch (which I believe is the old ACL) right below that pile that runs smack through the middle of Tifton. Nice fresh ballast and rail from the look of it.

    Found the fourth depot today. It is the old AB&A depot distinctive for the cupola they used.
