A State Movement in Railroad Development : The Story of North Carolina's First Effort to Establish an East and West Trunk Line Railroad
Overview
The story of North Carolina's railroad development is the story of a long and unsuccessful struggle to secure a trunk line east and west. Today the main railroads run north and south, following the fundamental geographical lay of the land, the original dream defeated by geography, sectional differences, politics, and the paralyzing effects of war.
