The restored train depot in Cornelia, Georgia. This depot is located in the heart of downtown Cornelia at the junction of the former Southern and Tallulah falls railroads. CSX is now using the old Souther railroad line. The Tallulah Falls railroad, which ran to Franklin, NC, shut down operations in the early 60s. An effort is being made to convert the right of way into a hiking / biking trail, similar to the Virginia Creeper trail on the former Abingdon branch right of way of the Norfolk and Western railroad
