North Carolina mountain counties urge state aid for rail link
A Raleigh to Winston railroad plan would unite Ashe Alleghany and Watauga with the rest of the state. The appeal cites mountain land wealth and big dairy, cheese and fruit production shifting to Tennessee and Virginia. Advocates say state bonds should finance development, including a Grandfather Mountain corridor and Grandfather Park area, to boost North Carolina.
