Railroads seek large Atlanta freight depot and street changes
Atlanta railways propose a two section freight yard from Loyd Street to Piedmont Avenue and a new Waverly Place, with an overhead Delta Place bridge, underpasses on North Boulevard and Pearl Street, and street regrades. They would move Waverly Place 90 feet south, close Washington Street north of the new avenue, and transfer fire house property in exchange for city rights and new city-built facilities.
