Jeff Morrison: View from Elliott St. in Castleberry Hill, with a partial side view of Terminal Station. Built in 1906, the station was demolished in 1972. The Richard B. Russell federal building now occupies the site. The Mitchell St. bridge remains unchanged in every decrepit detail, but it was closed in 2008 to vehicular traffic and will soon be replaced.

Unseen Underground is a unique walking
tour of the area known as the Railroad Gulch.
This includes the railroad junction that was the very
reason for Atlanta's existence, the zero milepost marker at
the center of it all, the elevated viaducts that allowed the
streets to span over the tracks and created the
"underground" condition, and the various railroad stations
that are all long since gone. In the process, we
explore a surreal network of spaces concealed beneath the
city streets. And along the way we learn some fun
history about how this area has shaped the growth of our
city from the very beginning.
