Terminal Station Unit 2243 Shoving Cars Around U to Coach Yard
Scope and Contents
This series consists of photographs of Southern Railway's facilities in Atlanta, Georgia. These photographs were submitted to the Commission without an Employees' Exhibit number but are described in written testimony submitted in Employees' Exhibit 29, are referred to by the letter U in testimony, and were taken by T.A. Whitworth. (N.B.: these photographs are misidentified in verbal testimony as Exhibit 99, which are photographs of Los Angeles.) Mr. Whitworth was employed by the Southern as a locomotive fireman and was a member of Lodge 651 of the BLF&E. The Southern is a class I railroad operating in the southern United States, now known as Norfolk Southern Railway. The photographs in this series document the Southern facilities in Atlanta, Georgia. Inman Yards was built in 1957 and remains one of the major hubs of the Norfolk Southern system. This series documents the yard operations, industries in and around Atlanta that were served by the Southern, and portions of downtown Atlanta. Also photographed are sections of the Atlanta Terminal Yards and the L&N main lines.
