Union station was built in 1912 to serve passenger trains of the Albany and Northern, Atlantic Coast Line (ACL), Central of Georgia, Georgia Northern, and Seaboard Air Line railroads, replacing an earlier 1857 depot. The City of Miami was the last passenger train to operate out of Albany in 1971. Union Station depot was preserved as a legendary landmark, converted into a museum, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
