Abstract:

Taylorsville citizens invested in the local Alexander Railroad line when the company, The Southern, threatened to end service. The town, located in Alexander County, depended on the railroad spur, which hauled freight and mail, for economic stability. Freight statistics for the line both before and after the sale are listed.
