Potential Rail-Trail Urged for Belmont
Citizens in Belmont have petitioned the City to create a rail-trail on an unused 1.63 mile section of the P&N railroad. It appears that NCDOT's Rail Division will play a key role in this process since DOT owns this section as part of a 1991 purchase of the idle portion of the P&N Railroad. DOT bought this idle portion to preserve it for future transportation use and currently is completing efforts to allow future rail service from Gastonia to Ranlo. For more on this evolving story please see the article in the Gaston Gazette.
