#NCLearnAtHome We came across these photos from the Library of Congress featuring the N.C. Transportation Museum grounds, once home to Southern Railway's Spencer Shops, one of the railroad's largest steam locomotive repair facilities. With a lot of hard work, time, and fundraising, there have been amazing restorations of these historic buildings at the N.C. Transportation Museum. Take a look at what a difference 43 years can make!
