Experimental Railroad
The Experimental Railroad was a horse-driven railroad in Raleigh, North Carolina built in 1833 to transport granite for the North Carolina State Capitol from a quarry one mile away in southeast Raleigh.[1] It is considered North Carolina's first railroad.[2]
North Carolina's first self-powered railroad was the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, built in 1840.[2]
