Abstract:

For seventy-seven years, the little engines of the Warrenton Rail Road Company have steamed or growled the three mile way between the Warren County seat and the Seaboard Airline at Warren Plains. Beginning in 1884, North Carolina's smallest railroad, mostly owned by the town of Warrenton, carried passengers and freight, under the direction of conductor, O. P. Shell.
