  ## History
  
  The S Line north of Hamlet was originally built in 1877 as part of the Raleigh and Augusta Air-Line Railroad. From Hamlet south, the line was originally part of the Palmetto Railroad and began service in 1887. Both lines were merged into the Seaboard Air Line Railroad in 1901 and made up their main line.
  
  The SF and SH Lines were built in 1874 by the Carolina Central Railway, which would also become part of the Seaboard Air Line. This made Hamlet an important junction for Seaboard.
