Abstract:

Seaboard Airline Railroad built the Hamlet Railroad Station in 1900. It handled numerous passengers and was also the point where Seaboard's main north-south and east-west lines crossed. A century later, in 1999, few trains come, the station's former passenger trains replaced by airlines.
