One of our local TV station recently ran this piece on the Lawndale Dummy Line. I found it interesting and thought I would share it with you.

I knew I had heard of the Lawndale, and searching Beebe and Clegg's "Mixed Train

Daily", I found the mention, but it is not much. It was a North Carolina 3 foot line that

was torn up in 1945, and B&C were late getting to see it. All they photographed in 1946

was a vinegrown water tank. I wonder if there are any books or pamphlets on it and its

history since B&C?
