Hour long video from the early 1990s about rail in Atlanta. Would probably be of interest for many on this forum.

It is very interesting. As a person who is interested in Atlanta and the history of railroading, it was informative. It's interesting to study how the stars aligned to create Atlanta.

This is great, jsvh.

Jack Martin's comment that in the 1950s and 60s there were about 84 arrivals and departures per day is interesting. I remember visiting the stations in those days and they were indeed bustling!

Thanks for posting this.
