Railroad Link Built As Military Project
North Carolina built the Greensboro Danville line mainly as a military project after 1862. President Davis urged quick completion to move troops and supplies, Congress debated funds, and the Piedmont Railway Company was chartered in 1865. A gauge conflict with Richmond & Danville caused tracking issues until 1866, when the line was aligned with the R&D gauge and later became part of the Southern Railway system.
