Raleigh NC and the Railroad - a photo on Flickriver

            As the North Carolina Transportation Company train leaves Raleigh, North Carolina, passengers take their seats and settle in for their journey. The engine and a line of gleaming passenger cars, winds its way out of the station, leaving the modern cityscape of Raleigh behind. 

This scene depicts the significant role railroads have played in the growth and development of cities and states across the United States, and Raleigh, North Carolina is no exception. The city's history is closely tied to the railroad industry, as it was a major hub for transportation and commerce in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The first railroad arrived in Raleigh in 1840, and since then, the city has been a major hub for transportation and commerce in the state. Railroad transportation has been an important part of Raleigh's history and has played a significant role in the city's growth and development. The railroad industry created jobs, helped to connect the city to the rest of the state and beyond, and contributed to the cultural and social life of Raleigh.
