Description
In this
scene
railroad
tracks
are
seen
curving
away
into the
distance
and
paralleling
the
French
Broad
River
. This
card
was
cancelled
at
Asheville
,
N.C.
, on
August
28
,
1908
. The
1916
guide
book
Road
Maps
and
Tour
Book
of
Western
North
Carolina
,
published
by the
North
Carolina
Good
Roads
Association
(Raleigh
,
N.C.)
,
commented
that, '
Buncombe
county
is
served
by the
Southern
Railway
,
four
lines
radiating
from
Asheville
in as
many
different
directions
,
connecting
with
all
parts
of the
country
. Its
passenger
and
freight
service
is
unexcelled
perhaps
by any
city
in the
country
of
twice
its
size
.
It
has
through
Pullman
service
from
New
York
,
St
.
Louis
,
Memphis
,
New
Orleans
,
Mobile
,
Jacksonville
,
Savannah
, and
immediate
points.
' The
guide
book
also
noted
the
extent
of the
road
system
in the
county
, and
indicated
, 'There are
about
150
miles
of
paved
macadam
and
sand
clay
roads
in the
county
, with a
total
of
more
than
700
miles
of
permanent
graded
roads
. An
eight-mile
stretch
of
asphalt-macadam
road
between
Asheville
and
Weaverville
was
completed
in
March
,
1916
, this
being
the
first
hard-surfaced
road
built
by
county
authorities.
