Abstract:
Donsky discusses the operation of short line railroads in the state. Short lines are small or mid-size companies that operate over short distances, for example, forty-seven miles, as compared to a national company having thousands of miles of track. The NC Department of Transportation lists nine short lines in the state with the oldest being the Aberdeen & Rockfish Railroad, founded in 1892.
