Viewing Album:  Sopchoppy Depot and the GF&A trestles.
 
By:Michael Appleby
Dates:12/23/2017 - 12/25/2017
Album Info:Long gone as an operation, the GF&A was a very prosperous railroad up until 1948 when the portion to Carrabelle was abandoned from Tallahassee south to Arran, down to Sopchoppy and down to Carrabelle. Two trestles remain along with a fully restored Depot which was restored by 2010. For those interested, the depot is open 10-2 on Saturdays.
