| Chris Ness posted Newnan coaling tower Coaling tower over the Atlanta and West Point just south of the intersection with the Central of Georgia at Newnan, Georgia. The combined station was located in the NW corner of the junction. This view is looking north. 11/07 |

| Street View Dennis DeBruler commented on Chris' post I noticed on a satellite image that you could still see some walls of the depot's sidewalks. And this street view shows that grass can grow out of the depot's sidewalks/platforms but not out of the slab for the depot itself. And of course the tower is in the background. NS now has the C of G, and CSX has the A&WP. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Chris' post I was surprised to see this building labeled as an historic depot. 33°22'28.1"N 84°47'48.2"W I'm willing to believe it is an historic railroad building, but I believe it was the A&WP's freight house. Chris Ness: You are correct. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Chris' post This topo map shows that there used to be a siding along the freight dock that still stands north of the freight house. 1965 Newnan South Quadrangle @ 1:24,000 Chris Ness: And where are those people who got all critical for me calling a coaling tower a tipple? I rest my case. Dennis DeBruler: Chris Ness I'm in the school of thought that "tipple" is the structure in coal mines that cleans and loads coal for shipment. So I think the cartographer made a mistake. |

| Chris Ness commented on the topo comment That water tank is not on A&WP property. That is this 100 year old tank fabricators and foundry. |
