Download or read book Wilmington, Brunswick & Southern Railroad written by Mark W. Koenig and published by History Press. This book was released on 2022-01-17 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the twentieth century, railroads meant progress, growth and development. In the 1890s Southport, North Carolina became the target destination for a major coaling terminal for ships sailing the Atlantic coast. A new terminal would require a railroad to bring in coal and other supplies. More than twenty companies were formed to pursue this idea over the years, with a few actual accomplishments, but most were purely speculative. Wearying the expectant town for more than twenty-five years, the vision for a great port was whittled down until local entrepreneurs finally built a 30-mile rail line to connect the town to Wilmington. Local author and railroad historian Mark Koenig chronicles the short life of a short line and the long process of making it a reality.

Book Synopsis Engines of Redemption by : R. Scott Huffard

Book excerpt: "After the upheavals of the Civil War and Reconstruction shattered the plantation economy of the Old South, white southerners turned to the railroad to reconstruct capitalism in the region. Engines of redemption examines the rapid growth, systemization, and consolidation of the southern railroad network in the decades after the Civil War. White elites and boosters used the symbolic power of the railroad to proclaim that a New South had risen and the Civil War was in the past. The railroad was more than just the economic engine of growth; it served as a powerful symbol of capitalism's advance. However, the railroad also introduced new dangers and anxieties into southern life, and white southerners came to fear an upending of the racial order, epidemics of yellow fever, train wrecks, violent train robbers, and domination by monopolistic corporations. To complete the reconstruction of capitalism, railroad corporations and their booster allies had to sever the negative aspects of railroading from capitalism's powers and deny the railroad's transformative powers to black southerners. The New South's experience with the growing railroad network provides valuable insights into the history of capitalism, and into how capitalism evolves, expands, and overcomes resistance" --

Book excerpt: Not only is THE LAST TRAIN FROM ELKLAND a brief history of four northwestern North Carolina mountain communities, it is also about two railroads that operated in and around these communities: the Virginia¿Carolina, also known as the ¿Virginia Creeper¿ (in 1916, the Virginia¿Carolina Railway was bought by the Norfolk & Western Railway, and renamed the Abingdon Branch), and the Deep Gap Tie and Lumber Company¿s railroad, whose former Hassinger Lumber Company¿s Shay logging locomotive operated alongside Gap Creek, from Deep Gap, in Watauga County, North Carolina, to the South Fork of the New River, near Fleetwood, in Ashe County, North Carolina, a distance of only about five miles. Although these communities were located in North Carolina, they all had a common tie-in with the neighboring state of Virginia ¿ the trains of the two railroads hauled logs that had been felled in the area surrounding the four communities, timber destined to be cut at the Hassinger Lumber Company¿s sawmill in Konnarock, Virginia. By the time the blades went silent on Christmas Eve, 1928, almost 400 million board feet of the area¿s best hardwood had passed through the Hassinger Lumber Company¿s sawmill. How much did this unchecked logging contribute to the immense damage done to the area by the disastrous floods of 1916 and 1940? This question is also explored in this book.
