Lee Kinnamon posted 19 images with the comment: "Here is a series of aerial photographs comparing the former Seaboard Air Line Railroad yard, shops, and Alabama Division headquarters office building in Americus, Georgia in the 1950s with the present yard operated by the Heart of Georgia Railroad (Genesee and Wyoming). The Americus shops and yard date to 1897 and the Georgia & Alabama Railway, successor to the Savannah, Americus & Montgomery Railway (S.A.M.) and predecessor of the Seaboard Air Line. At one time, the Seaboard employed several hundred people in Americus and Sumter County."

If the roundhouse ever had more than 2 stalls, it was already cut back by 1951, which is the oldest aerial I could find.
