Atlantic Coast Line Depot (Florence, South Carolina)

The former Florence Railroad Station as seen from the platforms and former railroad sidings in Florence, South Carolina (awning does not appear to be original). It was once a grand Atlantic Coast Line Railroad station and then an Amtrak Station until 1996 when that operation was moved into a smaller station next door. The building is now part of the McLeod Regional Medical Center, although Amtrak still uses the old platforms. 2011
