At first, I thought these were old crossties, but looking closer these are walking pads for heavy equipment in swampy areas. Least that's what I've seen these bolted together beams used for in the past. |

Aberdeen and Asheboro depot |
| Description: |
This depot sat in Pinehurst and was once home to the Aberdeen and Asheboro, then Norfolk Southern passenger/freight services. To the far right, you can see a trolley car. This trolley used to operate from here, down throughout the streets of Pinehurst taking people from here to there. There are still one or two streets in Pinehurst where the roadbed and bedcross ties can be seen and felt when driving down that street. |

I don't know for sure, but I am "thinking" this is ACL 94 which "might" meaning ACL dated, 1894? This is on a crosstie of course, on the ex ACL Parkton NC to Bennettesville SC lina, Now the Red Springs and Northern RR. |
