[QUOTE]Originally posted by tarheelman: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by notelvis: [qb] Hi Tarheelman, (and apologies to Henry for hijacking your thread with tales of another #5) Thanks for posting your own Southern passenger memories. Don't you love the restoration work on the stations in High Point and Greensboro? Hamlet is pretty incredible too though that was not originally a Southern depot. [/qb][/QUOTE]David, the restoration work on the Greensboro and High Point stations indeed was nicely done. They are stations that the residents of these two cities can be proud of---each one represents its city well. In the Greensboro station, I especially like the way that the large map of Southern's network circa 1927 was preserved and is clearly visible as you walk toward the hallway that leads to the platforms. It's a nice tribute to a well-run railroad from the past. I haven't seen the Hamlet station in person, but I've seen pictures of it. It looks terrific in the pictures---I'm sure it's even more impressive in person. Another nicely restored station is the one in Burlington that used to be the shops for the N.C.R.R. One of these days, I'm going to stop by there and visit the museum that the N.C.R.R. maintains inside this station. I hear that it's really interesting. [/QB][/QUOTE]
