A North Carolina Railroad Station and a Baggage Building in
EDGEMONT
Former Chester & Lenoir Narrow-Gauge Railroad depot, circa. 1894. Now used as a residence.

This photo shows a Carolina & North-Western train waiting to head back to Lenoir.
The presence of the dual-gauge
track dates the photo to 1918 or earlier, according to Matt Bumgarner's
book on the C&N-W. The narrow gauge belonged
to W.M. Rittter's logging line; the station
is now located on what was the left-hand leg of the wye in this shot.
