The blaze began about 2:30 a.m. County firefighters were dispatched to the train station at 90 Railway Lane and managed to put out the fire, but Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner John King said the 86-year-old, 1,974-square-foot building was already “moderately damaged” upon the arrival of first responders.
