A new terminal would require a railroad to bring in coal and other supplies. More than twenty companies were formed to pursue this idea over the years, with a few actual accomplishments, but most were purely speculative. Wearying the expectant town for more than twenty-five years, the vision for a great port was whittled down until local entrepreneurs finally built a 30-mile rail line to connect the town to Wilmington. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLocal author and railroad historian Mark Koenig chronicles the short life of a short line and the long process of making it a reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 146\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 17, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45770105880773,"sku":"9781540251145","price":45.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/MHcwVXJaMUwwUFF6dHdjZXE1ekJRQT09_611e466d-ac9a-4514-9884-2cdad6da6a04.webp?v=1770467541","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/wilmington-brunswick-southern-railroad-hardcover-1","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
