Union Station (Columbus, Georgia)

Union Station in its earliest years

Columbus Union Station was a union station in Columbus, Georgia. The building was built in 1901 and was designed in the Second Empire style by the architectural firm, Bruce and Morgan. The station hosted the Central Railroad of Georgia, the Seaboard Air Line Railroad and the Southern Railway. It was located at 1200 Sixth Avenue, directly north of 12th Street, Columbus.[1]

By 1932 Seaboard Air Line passenger trains stopped calling at the station, as the road's operations through Columbus became freight-only.[2] The SAL previously had run passenger trains to Richland, then to Albany.[3]
