Aberdeen and Asheboro Railroad
The Aberdeen and Asheboro Railroad (A&A), known locally as "Page's Road,"〔 was the conglomeration of two previous railroads built by the Page family of Aberdeen, North Carolina, at the turn of the 20th century.〔 〕 The railroad ran to connect its namesake cities with a branch connecting Biscoe to Troy and Mount Gilead and another branch connecting West End to Jackson Springs.〔〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕
== Background ==
The first railroad built by the Pages, known as the Aberdeen and West End Railroad (A&WE), had been a logging railroad since about 1887.〔 〕 Soon after this line connected Aberdeen and Pinehurst, shippers in Montgomery and Moore counties, who had been sending their freight by wagon to Manly on the Seaboard Air Line, created a demand for the A&WE to haul more than logs; this demand led to the line becoming a common carrier rather than an industrial line.〔 The line was also listed as carrying passengers on one train per day in each direction between Aberdeen and Candor by 1890.〔 〕 It was extended from Aberdeen to Star, NC, and was completed in 1895.
In 1896, the Pages organized and built the Asheboro and Montgomery Railroad, which extended from Asheboro, NC, southward to Star.〔 〕
