The story of North Carolina's railroad development is the story of a long and unsuccessful struggle to secure a trunk line east and west. Today the main railroads run north and south, following the fundamental geographical lay of the land, the original dream defeated by geography, sectional differences, politics, and the paralyzing effects of war.

North Carolina's highway system was one of the greatest single steps toward progress ever made by the state, linking the somnolent and backward communities with the more accessible and progressive sections. This volume presents the story of this highway system with due regard to the conditions of the past out of which it grew.
