[QUOTE]Originally posted by notelvis: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doodlebug: [qb]What North Carolina has done in restoring the Hamlet depot and many others around the state is far-sighted, in my opinion, and will pay off as the state slowly develops its own rail service. [/qb][/QUOTE]Agreed. I very much like what has been done in Fayetteville, Wilson, Selma, Rocky Mount, Greensboro, Southern Pines, and Salisbury. The most outstanding examples though are Hamlet and High Point. It's a delight just to stop and admire those stations. That Hamlet photo appears to have been taken early in the morning with the rising sun already beating down on the eastern (formerly southern) face of the building. (And the sun can really beat down in Hamlet, NC.) I wonder if those folks at the station are waiting for a three hour late northbound Silver Star? Now going completely off-topic......about those Tar Heels.......I've seen them play a number of times (most recently last December) over the years and they usually win. A pity for me as I always hold rooting interest for the opposition when I attend one of their games! My 'issue' with the Tar Heels will likely be clearer when I explain that graduate degrees in my immediate family were earned at Kentucky (my father), Maryland (myself), Louisville (also my father), and N.C. State (my sister). All schools who have enjoyed at least flashes of brilliance in March. I think we may agree about that school in Durham! And as Rich said, welcome to the forum. Your interest in, and knowledge of, passenger rail is evident. We look forward to hearing more from you. [/QB][/QUOTE]
