Model
railroader Joseph L. Massey has spent a great deal of time
working on modeling the Georgia railroad and downtown
Atlanta's train infrastructure as it appeared in the early
1950s. He mentions that these photos all show works in
progress and are not necessarily intended to be 100%
complete with regard to every minor detail.
Nevertheless, these are some tremendous likenesses and
obviously represent a vast amount of time.
This shot shows the view looking west and showing the tracks
passing under Whitehall Street (Peachtree Street, just south
of Five Points today) and Broad Street as they approach
Union Station. Also visible in the foreground is Plaza
Park.
