    Birmingham Terminal Station depot. :)

    Old postcards of the depot.

    Sanborn maps with dates shown of the following

    1911 - Birmingham Terminal Station depot, tracks covered by trainshed, and adjacent coach yard tracks.

    1930 - SLSF - Louisville and Nashville (L&N) and Southern Railway diamond crossings at 7th Street.

    1911 updated to 1950 - SLSF freight house.

    Edit 3/24/2024: The first two postcards show the front of the depot and the 5th Avenue subway that went under the depot and adjacent depot tracks.

    In the second photograph is a streetcar also taking the subway under the depot.

    First two views facing northeast.

    Last postcard view under the train shed is looking toward the depot at an angle. View is looking northwest.

    The Frisco freight house address is 24 South 8th Street, Birmingham, AL.
