Abandoned Seaboard Air Line Railroad (SAL) between Durham, N.C. (at O & C Junction, just north of intersection of Junction Road and Cheek Road) and the SAL’s train station in Creedmoor, N.C. (just east of Seaboard Street). Originally constructed as the Durham and Northern Railway (D&N) between 1889 and 1901, and funded by towns of Henderson and Durham, the 41.4 mile D&N was part of the SAL’s Raleigh Division by the 1890s and fully acquired by the SAL in November 1901. This line orignated in Henderson, N.C. at the connection with SAL’s Raleigh-Richmond mainline and terminated at Durham Union Station. Once the line crossed the Norfolk Southern (former Southern Railway) in northern Durham at O&C Junction, it paralleled the Norfolk Southern south and then west into downtown Durham. CSX, the successor to SAL, still operates a small portion of this line in Durham to service local industries. The City of Durham demolished Durham Union Station in early September 1968.
