Jesup Depot The former Atlantic Coast Line depot at Jesup is a stop for Amtrak's east coast trains. The building was damaged by fire in February, 2003 and is currently closed, but the city hopes to rehabilitate it soon. (Recent information from the City of Jesup's website: "After waiting 8 years, a ground-breaking ceremony was held on Tuesday, December 13, 2011, to officially mark the beginning of the renovation on this historic building. Construction is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, January 3, 2012, and be completed by the end of September 2012.") The photo above shows features of the depot area that no longer exist. A 1908 Sanborn map (below) identifies these as a 50-ft water tower with a capacity of 50,000 gallons and a small restaurant adjacent to the depot. The depot itself had what appears to be an interlocking tower. Two ACL lines diverged at the southwest end of the depot area, while the Southern Railway crossed the ACL on the northeast side. The tracks on the left connect to the ACL freight depot (demolished), which stood across Cherry Street one block to the southwest. Jesup, a city of 9,300 near the Georgia coast, is the county seat of Wayne County.  Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage. Copyright, Steve Storey.
