Newnan Depots The freight room of Newnan's Atlanta & West Point Railroad depot still stands, but the passenger section, shown in the old photo above, is gone. Its site is now occupied by the gravel parking lot shown in the foreground of the photo below. (Both photos were taken from the E. Broad Street crossing of the railroad.) Below is part of an architect's 1897 rendering for the building. The entire image can be viewed online at Georgia's Virtual Vault. A couple of blocks down the tracks to the south, on Savannah Street, the A&WP (now CSX) crossed over the Central of Georgia (now Norfolk Southern). On the northwest corner of the junction once sat Newnan's union depot, constructed in 1911 (below). The L-shaped structure featured a corner office with platforms alongside both tracks. It was torn down in 1970. Newnan (pop. 33, 725) is 42 miles southwest of downtown Atlanta. It is the county seat of Coweta County and its largest town.   RailGa.com.
