Talmo Depot In the mid-2000s, the former Gainesville Midland depot at Talmo was moved away from the railroad and rehabilitated. The nearby rails continue in use by CSX trains traveling between Gainesville and Athens. A view of the passenger end and the track side. The freight room was to the right side of the bay window. Talmo is a town of 183 in Jackson County, about ten miles southeast of Gainesville. For more information on its history, including much about the railroad, see the city's website. Above, next to a freight room door are these unusual benches. Above, the depot in 1998, before it was moved. A photo of the depot's waiting room at Flickr.
