Meansville Depot Meansville's former depot is now city hall. The community lost its railroad in 1977 when Southern Railway abandoned its line between Williamson (11 miles north) and Fort Valley. A nearly identical depot is in Fayetteville, about 35 miles north. Both buildings were on the same railroad line, built in 1887-88 as the Atlanta & Florida Railroad. Above, an older photo of the depot. This timetable shows the route after the 1939 abandonment of the Roseland-Fayetteville-Williamson line. Meansville (pop. 182) is in eastern Pike County about 60 miles south of Atlanta.   RailGa.com.
