Bryan Smith General Back then everything going toward Birmingham got train orders as CTC had not been completed between Austell and Birmingham. Austell was a 24 hour train order office then. After CTC was cut in it only lasted a few years as an agency. Wouldn't it have been great if the depot could have been saved and used as a railfan hangout?? 7/28/2011 9:13:08 PM
