A wagon and carts stand in the open ground around the railroad depot in Atlanta, Georgia, in this 1864 stereograph from the Anthony firm's War Views series. Atlanta was a major rail junction, and its depot and tracks were central to Union and Confederate supply lines during the war. The card is part of the Civil War Photograph Collection at the Library of Congress, and the wagons and transport gear in the scene reflect how much the city's economy and military logistics depended on moving goods by road and rail.
