This old Railroad track laid out by the Three C's Railroad Company (Charleston,Chicago, & Cincinnati) later to be known as the CC&O then Clinchfield and then merging with Southern to finally become the CSX is now a quaint walking path that leads from State St to Ford Way and runs along Glenwood Ave. The trail is part of the This Rails to Trails Project and is a gravel trail, which will eventually extend for 2.4 miles from State Street to Jacktown Road. A total of 1.5 miles of this trail is currently open, due to safety concerns with a trestle located behind Mi Pueblito Restuarant on Rutherford Road. Parking is available at the old Rescue Squad building on State Street and at First Christian Church on Rutherford Road (except between 9:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Sundays).
The McDowell County Historical Society has put together a map showing the Peavine and the roads that intersect to tell the history of what once was and to help promote not only the history of the town but also the RR. First publication will be available early Fall. For more information and to submit your photos, please contact the MCHS at 828-527-9098 or email us at [email protected]
