Remarks & Notes 
Other than the little bridge over the creek and the downtown buildings in the distance, this was a pretty nondescript spot. In spite of that, it was one of the busier railroad locations in Augusta. The tracks beyond the creek were what was left of the Georgia and Florida's Augusta yard. The track 2873 occupies was the mainline that continued down the middle of Sixth Street and across the Savannah River into South Carolina. The red stop sign guarded the crossing with SCL's former Charleston and Western Carolina mainline. The 'look' of this location is very different today, but it remains an Augusta hotspot.
