Atlanta's first Union Station, designed by civil engineer E. A. Vincent and constructed in 1853, was initially known as the "Passenger Depot" but came to be better known as the "Car Shed." It served the Western & Atlantic, the Georgia Railroad, the Macon & Western, and the Atlanta & West Point. The Car Shed was destroyed by Sherman's troops as they left the city on November 15, 1864, and six years later, Atlanta's second Union Station was built on the same location. - Local Identifier:
