Railroad History
Norfolk Southern Railway ran through Mackeys since the turn of the 20th century. The railroad ran from Mackeys to
Columbia and from Mackeys to
Belhaven. The trains used meet back in Mackeys and then go their ways towards
Raleigh via
Plymouth or
Norfolk via
Edenton and
Elizabeth City. Prior to the Albemarle Sound Trestle being built, trains used to cross to
Edenton via a ferry. In 1910
Norfolk Southern Railway built
the world's longest a wooden trestle bridging the 5.05mi from Mackeys to
Edenton(External Link
).
In the late 1980s Norfolk Southern discontinued use of the Albemarle Sound Trestle due to maintenance costs and subsequently dismantled it. This created a short-line from Plymouth to Mackeys. Agriculture products were loaded at the site where the train station used to be until 2004 when the tracks were removed. Today the tracks only run a mile outside the
Plymouth city limits to the east into the industrial park.
