This platform/pavilion looks to have been built fairly recently. It sits across the tracks opposite the Ringgold Depot. Parking is next to the fire department. At present no pathway leads to it only a grassy field.
This is along the north/south CSX W&A (Western & Atlantic) Subdivision. If you have a scanner radio the frequencies used are road channel 161.370; dispatcher is 161.520.
During the War Between the States, Gen. Longstreet's troops arrived here by train and then proceeded to fight in the Battle of Chickamauga.
