Great shot! The units are pulling off of the Southern interchange track, away from Gainesville, and crossing Georgia Avenue. This track remains to this day. The track closest to the photographer is the "main line" that crossed the Southern (to the left) and continued into town.
The middle track accessed the mill that still stands to the right.
Here is a Google SV of approximately the same spot:
