interesting place, historical layer / disappeared object, railway junction
Former junction of the Atlanta & West Point RR beltline and the Georgia RR (both current CSX) at Hulsey Yard in east Atlanta. From here the A&WP belt extended south then swung southwest eventually regaining the A&WP mainline near Sylvan Road/Lee Street in southwest Atlanta. This northernmost section of the line has not been used in years. A roundhouse and turntable stood just north of the fence seen here where all the intermodal containers now sit.
