After the Marietta line was abandoned in late 1947, the River line cars continued to lay over on the Walton Street sidiing in front of the Georgia Power office building. Car 970 loads up some of the last passengers in April 1949. The trolley coach overhead can be seen in the background wiring up the same siding for the 19-River TCs to use.
