The July “Where Is This” photo by Olivia Dawson features the red Atlantic Coast Line caboose located on South Dickerson Street in downtown Burgaw at the Historic Burgaw Train Depot. Olivia says the train car is a symbol of the town’s heritage and predates Burgaw’s incorporation, as it was born around the railroad. The main line connecting Wilmington to Weldon ran through Burgaw, serving a vital role in commerce, travel and mail delivery throughout Eastern North Carolina. This historic railroad depot is considered the oldest in the state, with the original building dating back to 1850. The winning entry chosen at random from all correct submissions came from Dean Herbert of Marion, a Rutherford EMC member.
