The Aberdeen and Asheboro Railroad was the conglomeration of two previous railroads built by the Page family of Aberdeen , North Carolina . at the turn of the 20th century. The first railroad built by the Pages, known as the Aberdeen and West End Railroad, had been a logging railroad since about 1887. It was extended from Aberdeen to Star , NC and was completed in 1895. About the same time, the Pages were nearing completion of the Asheboro and Montgomery Railroad, which extended from Asheboro , NC southward to Star. In 1897, the two lines merged to form the Aberdeen and Asheboro Railroad, which then became part of Norfolk Southern Railway in 1912. |
