Raleigh and Gaston Railroad
- Raleigh and Gaston Railroad
The Raleigh and Gaston Railroad was a Raleigh, North Carolina-based railroad opened in 1840 between Raleigh and the town of Gaston, North Carolina on the Roanoke River. It was North Carolina's second railroad (the Wilmington and Raleigh Railroad opened one month earlier).
The Raleigh and Gaston Railroad merged with the Seaboard Air Line Railroad in 1900, which merged with Seaboard Coast Line Railroad in 1967, which itself merged with the Chessie System in 1980 to become today's CSX Transportation. The Raleigh and Gaston's tracks now make up part of CSX's S Line as the Norlina Subdivision of CSX's Florence Division.
