The Central of Georgia Railroad: Savannah Shops and Terminal Facilities is a 33.2-acre (134,000 m2) historic district in Savannah, Georgia, that was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1][3] It is dominated by the Central of Georgia Depot and Trainshed, a passenger depot and trainshed constructed in 1860, before the outbreak of the American Civil War. This pair of buildings was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976.[2][3]
Located in the vicinity of West Broad Street and Railroad Avenue in the city's historic downtown, the site includes the following notable structures: a cotton yard, a blacksmith shop, two brick viaducts, a gray building, a red building, the depot, the trainshed and other buildings.

(Note: The official NHL webpage and state-wide NHL list document of the National Park Service erroneously describe the NHL as the entire "Central of Georgia Railroad Shops and Terminal", which is an NRHP listed in 1978. As the detailed Inventory/Nomination for that district explains, the NHL is just the passenger depot and trainshed, a separate NRHP listed in 1976.)
