Norfolk Southern May Go Behind
Tracks Nextlto Seaboard to
Union Depot
WHAT MIGHT BE DONE
In Event Property Is Found Too Kx
pensive, Norfolk ' Southern May
Connect With Raleigh and South
Krt Tracks From Another I)lrec
tlon Much Speculation Itii'e as to
Corporations Uehind XJrent Kail
roal Deals ILast Week Through
Fine Territory.
'. ' The Norfolk Southern Railroad,
which last week acquired the Dur
ham & Charlotte, the Raleigh &
Southport and the Aberdeen & Ashe
boro railroad properties, lias secured
options on property just "west of the
Seaboard Air Line's main lino, and
may soon have its own tracks to the
union depot. The proposed line will
extend from the freight depot on the
corner of Jones and aSunders streets
to the union station, the tracks of
the Norfolk Southern to parallel
those of the Seaboard. Much ex
cavation would be necessary from
Jones to Morgan streets, as the bed
of the road is at least 30 feet lower
than Hillsboro street.
With the securing of property
along this route, the problem of the
dry bridge over the Seaboard on
Hillsboro street should be simplified.
The bridge will necessarily have to
be made lower and a new one would
be erected, it is inferred, to take the
place of the present structure, which
has been pronounced none too safe.
The Raleigh & South port.';' acq uired
last .week by the Norfolk--' Southern,
has tracks in use to the main .line
of the Southern Railway and has the
right to enter the union depot on the
Southern's rails. Ry extending its
trackage through the heart of the
city, the Norfolk Southern could con
nect with the Raleigh & Southport,
and this may be done.
If the Norfolk Southern should
find after thorough investigation that
it could reach the tracks of
the Raleigh & Southport by an
other and less expensive route, it
would doubtless do so, In which
event it would waive its options on
nronertv on the west side of the
Seaboard tracks. Nothing Is known
as to the road's plans, however, and
what might be written is merely
speculation.
The purchase by the Norfolk
Southern of three railroads has led
to much speculation. A numher of
persons seem to think that the Nor
folk & Western Railroad, which is
controlled in part at least by the
Pennsylvania Railroad, is behind Hie
scheme.. In such an event he deal
would appear bigger than it really is,
which is saying a whole lot. It is
almost certain that the owners of the
Aberdeen & Asheboro will extend its
line from Asheboro to High Point, a
short distance, and from there to
Winston-Salem and Greensboro. The
Norfolk Southern corporation, with
Its acquired lines, controls the cream
of North Carolina territory, and it
is natural to infer that it will, con
tinue to expand.
