Pelham Depots Pelham's former Atlantic Coast Line depot now houses city hall. The building is particularly notable for its large open-air freight platform on its south end. A couple of blocks west is the former Flint River & Northeastern depot (below). The 23-mile FR&NE connected Pelham with the Georgia Northern at Ticknor, near Doerun. J. L. Hand, the railroad's president, owned the J. L. Hand Trading Company, a mercantile business known throughout southwest Georgia. Hand's giant store still stands across the street. The four-story structure is partly visible on the left side of the photo above. Pelham (pop. 4,029) is in Mitchell County about 40 miles south of Albany. An old postcard image of the FR&NE depot. The building in the foreground is the Carnegie Library, which still stands. The depot as it looked shortly after removal of the tracks.   Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage.
