Raleigh & Gaston |
| The road was constructed between
1836 and 1840. During construction, it leased its track to the
Petersburg Railroad for that road to provided rolling stock and operate
the road until construction was completed. Completion of the road
provided rail connection between Richmond and Raleigh (though over 3
railroads). The original strap iron construction was replaced with
T-rails in 1852. A new machine shop was constructed in 1861, leaving the
old shop to be leased as the Confederate Locomotive Shop in 1862. The road's connections at Weldon made it a very
important link in the Charlotte-Raleigh-Petersburg-Richmond supply line. |
