Union station plan gains city support in Athens
The Athens city council explores creating a union station by moving Gainesville Midland freight to Broad street and building a passenger station on its current site. Local roads including S A L, Southern, Georgia, and Central of Georgia consider switching to the union station, aiming to improve schedules, boost retail traffic, and retain merchants. General Manager Douglas pushes a daytime passenger schedule from Ans to Gainesville, offering shoppers longer city stays in exchange for routing freight to his line.
