Geocache Description:


This building has always intrigued me, so I thought it would be a cool place for a cache. I love these old buildings, especially those related to railroading.

I found this website, Railga.com that had some details on the history of this building.

"At 560 Walton Way is the former Central of Georgia Railway freight depot. Before the Central, it served the Port Royal & Augusta Railway. The building was rehabilitated in 1983 for use as a catering and banquet facility....in the late 1980s Walton Way was raised above those tracks blocking views of the building's front facade."

For more cool history on the Central of Georgia Railway, see this web page.


It does not appear the business here is using the Southern Building, but rather the warehouse or old rail depot part of the structure.

You are looking for a micro well integrated into its environment. The business located here knows of the cache and has granted permission.

A few notes:
--This area gets quite a bit of foot traffic, so use stealth!
--Do not hunt this cache at night
--Please put the cache back as you found it
--Bring a pen
--Good luck.
