United States, Georgia, Habersham County, Clarkesville, 34.6126, -83.524891949Clarkesville, ca. 1949. Old depot for the Tallulah Falls Railroad. At its completion in 1907 the railroad ran from Cornelia, Ga. to Franklin, N.C., a distance of 58 miles. The railroad operated for 54 years.2003/06/03: The Tallulah Fall Railroad was best known for its forty-two trademark trestles which extended fifty-eight miles from Cornelia, Georgia to Franklin, North Carolina. The trestles were extremely durable: each maintained its structure under the weight of a locomotive and its cargo (the train alone weighed upwards of 140,000 pounds). Two accidents in the railway's history (1898 at Panther Creek and 1927 at Hazel Creek) resulted in fatalities and marked the trestles as extremely dangerous. In 1946, the Tallulah Falls line discontinued passenger service. By 1961, the railway had fallen into extreme debt. Services were discontinued that same year.image/jpeghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-CR/1.0/Railroad stations--Georgia--Habersham CountyArchitecture--Georgia--ClarkesvilleBusiness--Georgia--ClarkesvilleTransportation--Georgia--Clarkesville[Photograph of old depot for the Tallulah Falls Railroad, Clarkesville, Habersham County, Georgia, ca. 1949]StillImage
