Albany Albany's 1912 Union Depot at 100 Roosevelt Avenue once served the Central of Georgia, Seaboard Air Line, Atlantic Coast Line, Georgia Northern, and Albany & Northern. In the 1970s it was rehabilitated for a new role as the Thronateeska Heritage Center. Exhibits include a model railroad and a 1911 steam locomotive. Above, an old postcard of the depot. On the north side of the Union Depot is its predecessor (above). Built in 1857, this was the city's first depot. This photo shows it before its rehabilitation. The Railway Express Agency building, another survivor from Albany's railroad past, stands near the 1857 and 1912 depots. (Photo made before rehabilitation).   Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage.
