Bartow The Central of Georgia Railway depot in Bartow was that railroad's "Station No. 11." It was built in 1869 to replace an earlier structure destroyed by Sherman's army in 1864. Transportation Enhancement funding for the rehabilitation of the depot was approved in 2002. The work is currently (June 2004) underway. Bartow is a town of 223 in southern Jefferson County in eastern Georgia. The tracks, now operated by Norfolk Southern, are out of view to the left in this photo.  Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage. Copyright, Steve Storey.
