Old bridge |
| Description: |
This is all that is left of the one time Charlotte to Columbia line that branched off the E/W connection track in Hamlet. Not sure of the real name of this line, I just know it branches of the Monroe Sub and heads South on the Hamlet Sub. It is now used as a walkway (to no where). |
