Abstract:

Although not known as a railroad center, North Carolina has a great profusion of short-line railroads. With slightly over twenty short-lines running, North Carolina can justly claim the title, \"Land of the Little Railroads.\" Primarily owned by small companies, these railroads operate under their own names, independently of any major system.
