East Carolina Railway
The East Carolina Railway was a short-line railroad that ran from 1898 to 1965. Originating in Tarboro, North Carolina the East Carolina Railway interchanged at Farmville, North Carolina with the original Norfolk Southern Railway.
==History==
The East Carolina Railway was incorporated in Tarboro in 1898, organized and initially presided over by Henry Clark Bridgers, Sr., nephew of Robert Rufus Bridgers who was president of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad. Constructed using prison labor from Raleigh, the tracks reached Pinetops, North Carolina by July 1900, Macclesfield, North Carolina by September 1900, and in 1901 it extended all the way to Farmville. In 1908 the line was extended 12 miles to Hookerton, North Carolina but this segment was abandoned in 1933 during the Great Depression.〔Smith, W. Terry, "''(Farmville collector shares passion for railroads with Tarboro )''", Daily Southerner, Tarboro, North Carolina, 3 September 2010〕
The railroad was acquired by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad (ACL) in 1935, but continued to be locally managed by Henry Clark Bridgers until his death in 1951. The railway continued to be operated under the East Carolina Railway name until the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad abandoned the line in 1965. The last train ran on November 16, 1965.〔
In 1960 East Carolina reported 1.1 million net ton-miles of revenue freight and no passengers on its 29-mile railroad.
