DURHAM-GREENSBORO SOUTHERN RAILWAY

'Durham-Greensboro Southern Railway' is a small railroad that some time around 1882 began offering rides to a small area west of the Chapel Hill (currently Carrboro). In order not to disturb students at The University of North Carolina, it was said that the station must be built at least a mile from the schools campus. The current town of Carrboro, then known as West End, started to grow as a result of this railroad.
