Abstract:
Big game fishing accounted for a major economic contribution to eastern North Carolina. A burgeoning market for recreational fishing trips off North Carolina's coast was born in the 1940s. Once considered a hobby, coastal populations quickly learned to tap into the activity which tourists were willing to pay for. Recreational fishing gained one million in revenue because of growing popularity during this period.

Abstract:
Mr. Goerch describes a round-trip ride in 1946 in the cab of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad's diesel engines. The ride on \"The Sun Queen\" left Raleigh bound for Richmond and for the author's return trip \"The Silver Meteor.\" Goerch discusses improvement in rail service because of diesel engines which increase speed with less noise. The author also supplements details of his ride with railroad vernacular, operational procedures, and railroad culture.
