General
The Red Springs and Northern Railroad lies in southeastern North Carolina.
The RS&N passes through four towns (from north to south):
Parkton
Lumber Bridge
Shannon
Red Springs
These towns are located between Fayetteville and Lumberton, NC.
The railroad roughly parallels highway NC 71 for a distance of 12.5 miles.
Set-on
We usually set onto the track in a
large field
in the town of Red Springs.
A long spur with the railhead at ground level
provides a very convenient location to load and unload.
From there we ride northward to Parkton and back.
