Abstract:

The Shay locomotive will run along a new line from Topton to Robbinsville as part of a new vacation retreat. The Graham County tourist attraction winds through the Nantahala National Forest and provides a scenic experience of the North Carolina Mountains. The Graham County Railway Company Inc. purchased a 40 acre tract and employs a 'Sidewinder' Shay double engine to pull the train.
