I wonder where exactly the Tucker/N.DeKalb station was going to be built? I don’t recall ever seeing this on the maps in the 80s that included future lines and stations.

Sounds like in the 70s, MARTA had that on trains to show it’s future plans. If you look at the fellow’s other photos, the map was spotted on a newly rehabilitated train car circa 2006 – it just didn’t get replaced for whatever reason.

Hope I wasn’t misunderstanding your question. The broader, existential why…MARTA likes to make us sad.

Why is that map (which would be great) on a train when nothing like it actually exists?
