The three railroads through town, from north to south were Southern; Atlanta, Birmingham & Coast and L&N. The AB&C became part of the Seaboard Coast Line. CSX choose to use the AB&C tracks, rather than the L&N tracks, to go through town. This topo map shows why the trackside of the depot is on a diagonal. It is because the L&N went from Coffee Street to Battle Street between East and Hill streets.
