RE: (rshsdepot) Augusta, GA
While I don't have any personal knowledge of the location, using Google's
satellite map function it looks like there are no longer active tracks near
the station. To the northwest you can see a bridge crossing the Savannah
River but the tracks appear to end just after you cross into Georgia.

The obvious unanswered question is, are there any active tracks at or near
the depot?
