We knew!! ๐
Did you know? The Piedmont & Northern Railway was originally built in 1911 by James Buchanan Dukeโyes, that Duke! ๐
The P&N was an electrically-powered interurban rail system linking major cities across the Piedmont of the Carolinas, serving as both a freight and trolley line. It sparked unprecedented growth in North Carolina's textile industry and helped shape the region we call home today.
Pretty cool history hiding right in our backyard! ๐
