Train watchers, take note! Lindale is a favorite spot for rail fans, and the Train Viewing Platform offers the perfect place to watch and photograph trains. The covered platform includes a radio scanner, so you can listen in as trains roll through.

Located at the main rail crossing in downtown Lindale—on the original site of the Central of Georgia Railway depot—it offers a front-row seat to the Norfolk Southern Georgia Division mainline between Atlanta and Chattanooga. You’ll see a mix of EMD and GE locomotives, with freight, container, and unit trains running along a double mainline with multiple sidings.
