James,
I would disagree somewhat.  Though Atlanta would not be a bad choice, for many of the reasons you listed and the fact that it was a major railroad center.  
However, I think that Atlanta lacks one major componant for a first rate capital city, a major seaport.  One must remember that at this time the most efficient way to get from point a to be is the water.  Several cities I might propose would be, Charleston SC, Savannah GA, Mobile AL, or even New Orleans LA.  Or you could, as suggested, return it to the orginal capital, Montgomery AL.

g'day
