Last Train To Lenoir, NC.

On August 31st, 2007 the Caldwell County Railroad operated the last train through Lenoir, NC. 5 miles of the Caldwell County Railroad were closed when Google built a computer center a couple hundred yards from the ROW of the railroad. Google claimed that the vibrations from the train (that ran this line once, or twice a week at 10mph, with only a couple cars at a time) would be too much for their computers.

Recently I decided to take a look at my photos from the day and decided to repot some of the photos. The day started as normal as the crew picked up a couple cars from their interchange with Norfolk Southern in Hickory, NC. They delivered the loaded cars in Hudson, NC and then ran engine light through Lenoir to Valmead to pick up the remaining cars at Sealed Air. The Caldwell County Railroad continues to operate today to Hudson, NC.
