High Point Delegations to Urge Rail Restora tion at Woodson Bill Hearing
Delegations from High Point and surrounding towns plan to travel to Raleigh for Thursday's Woodson bill hearing at 3 pm to press for restoring trains 21 and 22 to the High Point Thomasville and Lexington routes. The bill would regulate North Carolina railroad traffic and curb the power of the corporation commission, which recently ruled against restoration via Winston-Salem. Citizens along the Piedmont push for action amid decades of debate and await the committee's decision on whether trains 21 and 22 will run through their cities.
