Mr. Lynch got the idea after the dty acquired the old depot to pur chase the caboose because he ad mits "I Ilka trains and Kings Mountain and dsdded to put the two together.” Ha contacted Mayor John Henry MOas, who was dated at the news, and then wrote William F.

The plaque win be enscilbed “presented to the City of Kings Mountain by Haywood B. Lynch In .jnenuay of hla fathar, Oapt. M. J. Ldmeh, railway oottduetor of IS years and In honor and mamory of the following Kings Mountain OOOi I :00l OBB0 clUsens who were employes of the Southern Railway System: Cline Barber, derk, Leo L.

Throtwburg, puUtnan ear conductor, A. U. Tindall, section foreman, J. B. Turner, station agent, Howard S. Ware, fireman, Leonard Ware, machine operator and Oapt. B. WlUeford, conductor. Mr. Lynch recalls vividly many friends he had made during Ids train rides from Goldsboro to Kings Mountain aial of the late Certain Hetuy Moaa who kidded Idm when he moved from Goldsboro to Kings Moimtaln to become editor of the town weekly. The conductor wsui the first Kings Mountain cltlaen the young Mr. Lyttch met on hla Initial visit hare and recalled that Mr. Moss, like Mr. Lynch, found Kings Mountain to be ‘ ‘the beat town along the railroad Una.” The as or more books In Mr. LyiKh’s train ooUectlon at hla home on Ridge St and hla office on S. caierokee St. attest to his love for the railroad life. The books have come fi^>m hla children and grandchildren about loccmotlvea from this coun try, Germaty, France amd Japan. “It'a really a small world,” declares Mr. Lynch who haa talked hla railroad hobby with many visMara to Ms old nawapapor etfiee In downtown Kings Mountain. Mr. Lynch aald much of hla In V V, ■ k If *- ' t-'i •• W f] ♦ • Haywood Lynch and his gift to the city formation about some of Kings Mountain peraotuial on the railroad came from Thelttta (Mra Manly) Moorhead, who along with her late hutoand gave a total of U years service to the railroad, Mr. Moorhead retiring In 1966 from the KM depot after a stroke and Mrs. MOorhead rettrlng 14 years later from the Grover depot aa station agent and operator. Mlw. Moorhead la probably one of Southern Railway’s first women station agents and operators and credits much of her experience to the good training and record of her husband with the company. “I ab sorbed a lot from Uvlng with a rallroadmsm,” said Mrs. Moorhead of the late Mr. Moorhead. And, she admits, fondly, “If I ever had a rival fOr hla affeettona It vras Southern Railroad.” Mrs. Moorhead i was ac- compsinled by her husband to work tor 14 years after he retired and some of those railroad days she says she’U never forget. Sharing with Mr. Lynch some of her experiences, ahe recalled that In March of 1940 when snow came every Wednesday to the area, ahe and Mr. Moorhead were Snowbound In the Cramerton depot for three days. Other snowy winters they caught a freight train from Kings Mountain to Grover where ahe worked at the Grover station. Klnga Mountain was worked In recent years by a mobile a gent, J. E. Turner, who now works In Blaeksburg, S. C. since clodng of the Kings Mountain Depot several years ago. Railroading la a fascinating business, according to the Kings Mountain people who have given many years of service In the profession. And Haywood B. Lynch has lived some of those arcperlence by sharing stories about them and the railroad through the columns of his newspaper and from talking with friends and acqualntanoea He’s got the welcome mat out to everyone to uae the pretty rod caboose at the Old Depot as a reminder of "the good ole days of the railroad” In Kings Mountain. Those of us who have never even taken a train ride will relish this opportunity, and sdthough the trains don’t stop hare anymore for passengers, we can remember the good old days when they did.
