There is an interesting discrepancy between the 1949 GSU maps ( http://library.gsu.edu/aerialatlas1949/html/large/asa043L.jpg ) and the HistoricAerials views from 1955-1968, if you will note that NEW rail sidings were build down from the embankment post 1949 to serve the industry along Foundry St. between the two rr embankments, and the 1955 aerial seems to show a spur line entering Magnum St. and the industry at the SE corner of the Magnum-Magnolia intersection seems to have a curving spur track coming off the street, esp visible in the 1968 view. If this is not all crazy optical illusions then its very interesting that industry was still expanding in downtown Atlanta post 1949!Nikos Kavoorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400678557607059993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696567623400325063.post-76881706033963879692012-09-03T14:35:39.744-04:002012-09-03T14:35:39.744-04:00I noticed that too.
