| The original charter was issued in
1832, with main line construction completing in 1854. For some reason,
the road chose the 4' 8" gauge, alone of all the roads south and
west of Charlotte, NC. The gauge difference proved a serious impediment
to the smooth flow of war goods and was not changed to the prevailing 5
feet until 1867. |

| Track |
127 miles of 4 foot 8 inch gauge; at least 86 miles
were still 18# to 24# flange at the end of the war, the rest was T-rail. |
