Chapter 2 Coming of the Railroad

As the river carried Weldon into being, the railroad carried it into history. In this chapter of The Current of Time, the story turns to 1832 — the year the railroad roared into Weldon and transformed a quiet river town into the largest rail hub in the Southeast. Through local voices and archival records, The Coming of Rail traces how industry, migration, and faith reshaped the community: from the rise of churches and family businesses to the new lives forged by formerly enslaved people in the years after the Civil War. The iron tracks that once cut across Weldon carried more than freight — they carried hope, opportunity, and the beginnings of change.
