Atlanta & West Point Depot Atlanta, GA Former Atlanta & West Point Ormewood depot during January 2001. The depot was the first on the A&WP Belt Line south of Hulsey Yard.

Before the rails were pulled up north of the Williams Brothers facility just south of I-20, the station saw trains #208 (Montgomery, AL to Hulsey Yard), #211 (Hulsey to Montgomery counterpart to #208); local #21, based at Hulsey Yard; and the College Park and Ormewood switchers. The Ormewood switcher worked the A&WP Belt Line south to the road's connection with the Central of Georgia at Oakland Junction. Ormewood would also see Hulsey-bound autoracks from the L&N - clearance problems at Atlanta Underground forced the L&N to move cars south to Oakland Junction then up the belt Line to Hulsey. To the left of the photo and up a steep grade was a connection with the Georgia Railroad at Hulsey Yard.

The depot is located in the Ormewood Community of Atlanta, at the corner of Memorial Drive and the Glenwood Memorial Connector, formerly Railroad Avenue. It is currently occupied by a manufacturing company. Added 3/30/2001. Station and A&WP history courtesy of GW Deason.
