Abstract:
The Graham County Railroad, the last common carrier in the country to rely totally on Shay geared logging type, steam locomotives, has ceased commercial operations. During the 1950s and 1960s, railroad fans from across the country would come to Graham County to watch, hear, and hopefully ride the little mountain railroad. The loss of the commercial business is softened by the fact that the Graham County Railroad has left its all-steam operation tradition and a portion of its facilities and equipment to the surviving Bear Creek Scenic summer tourist railroad.
