It looks like Southern had its own depot east of the GM&O depot. Google Maps implies that Norfolk Southern now uses this building as office space.

Seeing that Southern sign surprised me because I did not see Southern when I studied which railroads served Mobile. I saw only two GM&O routes, a Frisco route and a L&N through route.

More detailed topo maps indicate that Southern paralleled the Frisco route into town.

Since the GM&O, Southern and Frisco trains terminated here, having stub terminals is no big deal. I suspect that the L&N depot was the building in the northwest quadrant of Dekle and Beauregard Streets.
