[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 387139, member: 10543"] From my pre-digital post-Kodachrome Fujifilm era in April 2011, the former Seaboard Air Line Railroad station in Hamlet, NC. Hamlet remains a major junction on today's CSX. The line was indeed named with an Air Line in its name. In the 1880s when the SAL was beginning it's assemblage of lines, an "air line" was a straight route. The SAL evolved into a large system in the southeastern U.S. with 4,000 Miles of line. My Dad told me a story from the early 1960s when he called a taxi to pick him up at the Seaboard Air Line station. The dispatcher sent the cabbie to the airport. :D [ATTACH=CONFIG]127233._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
