College Park Depot College Park's long narrow red-brick depot served the Atlanta & West Point Railroad. The tracks are still in use by A&WP successor CSX. A pre-1900 photo of the depot. The A&WP described it as "the prettiest depot in the state...constructed of buff brick and stone, at a cost of $5,000." (From: The Heart of the South along the line of the Atlanta & West Point RR. Atlanta: Atlanta & West Point RR and Western Railway of Alabama, 1898. Online at Internet Archive.) The city's name came from Cox College, previously Southern Female Institute; it closed in the 1930s. (From: Atlanta: A Twentieth-Century City, Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, 1904.
