Winder Depot The former Seaboard Air Line Railroad depot in Winder, constructed in 1910, now houses the local chamber of commerce and Main Street program office. Under the shed is Gainesville Midland No. 208, a 1930 Baldwin 2-10-0 steam locomotive donated to the community in 1959. The depot still has its red tile roof and chimneys. This old postcard shows that the door on the east end was not part of the original construction. An eastbound train pulls into the station in this postcard view. The overhanging roof provides welcome shade on hot summer days. The Gainesville Midland Railroad also had a depot in downtown Winder. It stood four blocks north of the SAL station, at the intersection of N. Broad, Midland Avenue, and N. Jackson. Winder, a city of 12,000 and the county seat of Barrow County, is between Atlanta and Athens.   Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage. Copyright, Steve Storey.
