COLUMBIA OLD UNION STATION

As with many cities in the United States, Columbia used to have a train passenger service. The old depot still exists. It is located on the to the west of HWY 31. The easiest way to find it is to turn west of the highway onto 7th Street (away from the Count House). At the next street,  High Street, turn left (South) and go until the street ends at Depot Street. Turn left and the Depot will be on your right. It still looks sound although the windows are broken and boarded. Freight trains of the Tennessee Southern Railway still use the rails.

The station was build in 1905 and operated until and was part of the Louisville & Nashville and Duck River Valley Narrow Gauge Railroad (L&N). The station was abandoned in 1945. The line itself still serves for goods transportation.
