Atlanta Union Station of 1930 Atlanta's third Union Station. View from Forsyth Street. (Tracy O'Neal Photographic Collection, 1923-1975, Special Collections Department, Georgia State University Library.) Opened in 1930, Atlanta's third Union Station stood over the tracks between the Forsyth Street and Spring Street viaducts. It served the Atlantic Coast Line, Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis, Louisville & Nashville, and Georgia Railroad. The building was demolished in the early 1970s. (Views of its site today.) A postcard image of the station. Two earlier union depots stood on the block bounded by Central Avenue and Wall, Pryor, and Alabama streets. The first, built in 1853, was destroyed by Federal troops in 1864. The second, constructed in 1871, was demolished after its replacement by the 1930 structure.   Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage. Copyright, Steve Storey.
