The 33-acre facility features a control tower, power substation, blow-down pit and train washer, as well as maintenance and overhaul, gap breaker, cleaner, maintenance-of-way, and petroleum oils and lubricants buildings.
The facility also includes a bypass track and lead tracks that connect to MARTA’s north line.
