Elberta It's been a while since Elberta's Southern Railway depot was actually in Elberta, a small unincorporated community on U.S. 129 between Macon and Warner Robins. For several years the depot stood at the Houston County Fairgrounds, where it was used by the Middle Georgia Model Railroad Club. Today it is located next to Warner Robins' railroad depot at the corner of Watson Boulevard and U.S. 129. The Elberta depot was built sometime around 1918 when the railroad was the Georgia Southern & Florida. Elberta itself was named for the Elberta peach, a variety of the fruit once shipped in great quantities from various railroad depots in middle Georgia. Warner Robins is a city of 52,000 in Houston County, It lies just west of Robins Air Force Base.   Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage. Copyright, Steve Storey.
