Upcoming calendar upgrade: Yahoo! Groups calendars are being upgraded to a much improved version. You may not have access to the calendar (for up to 24 hours) when this group is upgraded. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.
Description
This is reference for the Durham & Southern railroad which ran 59 miles from Durham, NC to Dunn, NC from 1906-1979. The line was originally built as the Cape Fear & Northern Ry in 1899-1906. The D&S ran their last train on July 5, 1979. It mergered into the Seaboard Coast Line and is now known as present-day CSX Corp.
The recent model locomotives made by Athearn show that this shortline was much loved and not forgotten.

Square, metal, I'd say aluminum. Stamped, 408, 409, 410. They are metal tags with a nail hole. About 4 by 3 in or less. I also found a date nail separately
