Central of Georgia Railroad: Savannah Shops and Terminal Facilities
Central of Georgia Railroad: Savannah Shops and Terminal Facilities, Railroad terminal and shops complex in Savannah, US.
The Central of Georgia Railroad district spans 33 acres with nineteenth-century buildings, including a roundhouse, machine shops, and administrative structures in downtown Savannah.
The railroad complex started operations in 1836 to connect the port of Savannah with Macon, becoming a major transportation hub for cotton exports by 1843.
The railroad facilities now house multiple institutions, including the Georgia State Railroad Museum, Savannah History Museum, and Savannah College of Art and Design Museum.
The complex includes preserved industrial structures with a 123-foot smokestack, a 40,000-gallon water tank, and extensive brick buildings along Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard.
The site contains the oldest standing railroad bridge in Georgia and America's oldest existing long-spanned, truss-roofed railroad shed from 1876.
