Abstract:

The Aberdeen & Rockfish Railroad Company runs through Moore, Hoke and Cumberland Counties on its forty-six mile trips between Aberdeen and Fayetteville. The line was founded in 1892 by Confederate veteran John Blue, and his descendants still own it. The A & R and North Carolina's twenty-two other short-line railroads are crucial links in getting raw materials to manufacturers and finished goods to consumers.
