Sheldon, Lake Junaluska & Mount Mitchell Railroad

The **Sheldon, Lake Junaluska & Mount Mitchell Railroad** was a 3 foot narrow gauge railroad that ran from Sheldon, North Carolina into Mount Morris.

## History

Around 1905 - 1906, William Trousdale, a local lumber baron, along with his partner, Eugene Walsh, were expanding their business into Mount Morris, northeast of Sheldon, North Carolina. Sheldon, at the time, was an expanding town and had been connected by the Knoxville & Asheville Railroad, the Erwin & Sheldon Railroad, and many other lines. In order to get the lumber out of the woods, it was decided to build a railroad line into the mountains.

In early 1907, ground breaking began on the new line at Lake Junaluska, North Carolina and headed northeast towards Mount Morris. It was decided that the railroad should be built as a 3 foot narrow gauge line. The line's first examples of motive power were second hand locomotives from the Carson & Colorado Railroad, the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad, and the United Verde & Pacific Railroad; plus a newly purchased 4-6-0 Ten-Wheeler locomotive straight from Baldwin Locomotive Works.

By late 1907 the railroad was finally complete. In the next year, 6 more locomotives were purchased from the Denver & Rio Grande, the Carson & Colorado, and a new engine straight from the American Locomotive Company. As time would go by, the railroad would expand towards the town of Sheldon by daul tracking the K&A mainline from Lake Junaluska to Sheldon.

In 1913, the railroad purchased its first 2-8-2 mikado.
Johnny Law

## Biography

Richard Reese always wanted to be a police officer. He always wanted to catch the bad guys. Somewhere along the way though, he lost his way. He graduated the academy, but as an office clerk rather than a beat cop. After years of dreaming of catching bad guys, he ended up catching paperwork. He felt completely unfulfilled in this role of course.

Of course, the grand irony is that his pushing papers ended up being exactly what uncovered the unusual Pyramid Star Solutions lab, abandoned on the fringe of Corporate LA. After the news about mutants and experiments, Measure Z and Callisto 6, Richard decided it was worth looking into, and further decided that he would make his name by doing it himself. He found a reason to go looking, unpaid property taxes, and picked his time.

On arrival, Richard initially found what appeared to be a storage warehouse, filled with abandoned lab equipment and out of date pharmaceuticals. While looking around, Richard accidentally discovered a hidden lift however, and was taken down into a sub-basement, where he surprised a lone researcher hunched over a machine with what appeared to be a metallic helmet within. As the helmet had basically been tagged as a lost cause anyway, the researcher made a break for it, and managed to escape.

Richard came back and collected the helmet, which seemed completely inactive at the time. As he picked up the helmet to take it into evidence, he heard explosions outside, and felt the ground shake. As it did, he watched the helmet begin to light up, seeming to boot up like a computer.

Richard placed the helmet onto his head and as he did, he felt power begin to course through him.

Richard has a small apartment in Mid-city in the Oxford Park Apartments.

Raccoon County Railroad Company

**The Raccoon County Railroad Company** was a shortline that ran in Sheldon, North Carolina.

## History

Around 1905, shortly after the town of Sheldon was founded, the Seamus Lumber Company began operations in the hills northeast of Raccoon County. In order to get the cut lumber from the camps in Possum Hollow down to the mills in Sheldon, it was obvious a railroad was needed to be built. In 1908, a railroad company was chartered and construction began using a brand new 2-6-2 Prairie type locomotive from Baldwin Locomotive Works. However, in the spring of 1916, a flood washed away most of its trackage along with its only locomotive. The engine was later salvaged and continued service for another 10 years.

The railroad at first was a financial success, bringing cut lumber from Possum Hollow down to the mill in Sheldon, North Carolina. But as the years passed, the lumber sources began to dry up. Finally, in 1926, the railroad filed for bankruptcy. The Raccoon County National Bank then bought all properties of the railroad, including its track, rolling stock, and only locomotive. The railroad was then put up for auction and a businessman by the name of J.D. Morris.

After the track was rebuilt, the railroad bought 2 new shay locomotives from the Lima Locomotive Works. Numbered 1927 and 1928 after the years they were built. The railroad managed to stay out of bankruptcy during the Great Depression. But dark times loomed ahead.

In the early 1950s, most of the lumber industry in the county dried up when most of the land was sold to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park so the railroad began to offer other services in order to keep above water. In the late 1960s, the railroad began offering excursion rides. In 1969, engine #1928 lost its air brakes and it derailed, tipping over onto its engineers' side. It was then brought back to the shops and repaired using parts off of engine #1927.

Joshua Hamilton

*"Salem…the destruction of Salem is the only reason that witches aren’t the dominant species on the planet. We were at a low population before, but after…we were driven to near extinction, and for good reason. Back then, we were a merciless people, those we didn’t like were ‘sacrificed’. We lived as the secret dictators of the human world. If they’re coming back, it means they’re after revenge. They won’t hold back."*
― Hamilton on the return of the Witches of Old Salem[src]
**Joshua Hamilton** is the founder of Hamilton's Academy for Witches and Wizards. He is also a Lycan whose true allegiance is to Cassandra Thorne.

## Pre-ASFS

Sometime in 1997, Hamilton founded the Academy, in which young witches and wizards are taught magic. At some point, he hired Ashley West, King Merliniad II, and others.

Before the main events of the novel, Hamilton is contacted by Cassandra, who recruits him to do his bidding.

## ASFS

Upon receiving the letter from Mathias, Hamilton sends both Ash and Reg to retrieve the frozen Mary. As the events of the novel unfold, it is assumed that Cassandra is quietly telling Hamilton what to do in order to get Mary to Salem.

When the Salem Four get closer to Salem, Hamilton announces his retirement and goes ahead of them. After Cassandra lures Mary away from the group, Hamilton captures her and takes her to Salem Common to sacrifice her and bring back Cassandra and the other Witches of Old Salem.

When the rest of the Salem Four, along with Callum and Damian, arrive and prevent Hamilton from sacrificing Mary, Hamilton and Callum fight once more, leaving Hamilton mortally wounded and forced to retreat as Cassandra rises.

## Relationships

### Ashley West

Hamilton and Ashley have a strained relationship. Multiple times, their opinions differ and they are shown to argue in front of the main characters. However, it seems that the two ultimately respect each other despite their differences. This changes, however, when Hamilton announces his plan to retire shortly after revealing the Salem Four's quest, in which she calls him a "coward".

### Cassandra

Hamilton appears fiercely loyal to Cassandra and her cause. Though the reasoning behind this is still unknown, Hamilton appears to deeply respect her.

Despite the nickname, "Maud" continued to work for the Southern until she was retired from service in 1949, completing nearly 70 years of service. She was then moved to Inman, Georgia, and straight onto the deadline to awaiting the scrapper's torch. However, the shop's workers had favored Maud and wrote to current Southern Railway president E. E. Norris requesting the engine be preserved. Norris obliged, and Maud was placed on display outside of the shops.

Gatlinburg, Dupont & Western Railroad

The **Gatlinburg, Dupont & Western Railroad** was a 3-foot narrow gauge railroad company that ran from Gatlinburg, Tennessee to Dupont, Tennessee with a spur track that ran towards Wears Valley and onto Townsend, Tennessee where it connected with the Little River Railroad.

## History

The Railroad began construction in 1886 with only one locomotive, a 2-6-6T Mason Bogey purchased second hand from the Denver, South Park & Pacific Railroad, a few pieces of rolling stock, and a passenger car, baggage car, and caboose (All of which was delivered to Crosby, Tennessee via the Smoky Mountain & Atlantic Railroad and then to Gatlinburg by horse drawn wagon). The railroad also bought the remains of a Porter Bell & Co. 0-6-0 Tender Engine that was destroyed in a boiler explosion from the Carolina & North-Western Railroad in North Carolina. The locomotive was rebuilt with a new boiler from Porter and began service. In 1887, the railroad connected to Dupont and in the following year, construction began towards Wears Valley and a new locomotive purchased second hand from the Denver & Rio Grande arrived.

By 1890, the railroad had connected to Townsend, Tennessee and several logging operations in the mountains. By 1900, the railroad had 9 locomotives under their employ and several pieces of rolling stock. In 1902, the SM&A began its construction towards the mountains and the GD&W supplied the railroad with freshly cut timber and in return, the SM&A took farm produce and dairy products to the markets in Knoxville from the GD&W.

In 1905, the SM&A became the Knoxville & Asheville Railroad and business increased on the GD&W. But as the 1920s rolled on, the timber industry began to decline in the area. In 1932, the railroad filed for bankruptcy. The Knoxville & Asheville Railroad bought the line and converted it to Standard Gauge. The GD&W engines were then sold to the Sheldon, Lake Junaluska & Mount Mitchell Railroad in North Carolina. The line continued operations as the Dupont Branch thereafter. In 1940, the line to Wears Valley and Townsend was closed when the logging operations ceased. Operations to Dupont continued until the late 1950s when trucks began taking most of the work. In 1962, the line finally closed.

## Biography

Tom was built by ALCo's Pittsburgh Works in May 1914 alongside his brothers Dick and Harry and was one of the last A-7 class 0-6-0s built for the Southern Railway. They were assigned to work as station pilots for the Chattanooga Station Company, which was a subsidiary owned by the Southern Railway, and to work at Chattanooga Terminal Station. Once they arrived, they met an old 0-4-4T by the name of Maud, who took them under her wing.

Whilst working in Chattanooga, the triplets also made friends with the station company switcher, Khloe. Later in 1949, the triplets were retired from service and were sold to the Knoxville & Asheville Railroad to serve as the station pilots at Palmer Terminal.

The brothers were retired when the line dieselized in 1962 and were later sold to a private owner who was also a member of the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum. In 1970, the triplets were loaned out to the station company to witness the last train to leave Chattanooga Terminal Station.

In 1972, Tom, Dick, and Harry were sold to a wild west themed amusement park called "Boomtown Junction" where they were dolled up as 19th century locomotives. Life seemed to go smoothly for the Chattanooga Triplets, until 1992 when a forest fire destoryed the park. Unfortunately the park wasn't insured and it closed down. The future seemed dim for the triplets...

...until Lucas bought them back on the cheap. Now they continue to work at Palmer Terminal as part of the K&A's Steam Program.

## Trivia

Downtown Street Railway

The **Downtown Street Railway** was a transit company that operated in Sheldon, North Carolina.

## History

The line began operations in 1907 with horsedrawn carriages. It ran from Market Square, across the bridge, and wrapped around Hartford Park. In 1913, the line converted to using electric streetcars. In 1922, after the death of the line's founder, Thomas Jefferson Jones, the line along with the assets of the Sheldon Union Railroad, the Sheldon & Watchout Mountain Railroad, the Mount Watchout Railroad, and the Watchout Mountain & Lola Hill Incline Railway were taken over by the Raccoon County National Bank, however, the Sheldon & Watchout Mountain Railroad continued operations. In 1926, T.J. Jones Jr. met up with the bank to incorporate all assets of the S&WM, the Mt.WRR, both incline railways, the Sheldon Union, and Downtown Street Railways into one system, thus creating the Sheldon Municipal Railway & Transit Company. All lines were electrified to run trolleys and streetcars.

For the next couple of decades, the company saw financial success. But when the 1950s came around, passenger numbers began to decrease. By the time the Sheldon Cab & Taxi Company was established in 1958, ridership was at an all-time low. In 1963, the last streetcar ran.

Smoky Mountain & Atlantic Railroad

The **Smoky Mountain & Altantic Railroad** was a railroad company and the predecessor of the Knoxville & Asheville Railroad.

## History

The SM&A began amongst the ashes of the Knoxville & Eastern Railroad, which was heavily destroyed during the American Civil War from April 12th, 1861 to May 9th, 1865. An investor by the name of Jeremiah Mack bought up all of the stock of the K&E and reorganized as the Knox County & Smoky Mountain Central Railroad (later renamed the Smoky Mountain & Atlantic Railroad). His first move as the railroad's president was to expand the railroad into the mountains.

By 1870, the SM&A had extended east towards Crosby where it connected to several logging operations. By the late 1880s, it had connected with the Richmond & Danville Railroad at Del Rio, Tennessee.

In 1894, the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Railroad and the Richmond & Danville Railroad merged to create the Southern Railway. Following the merger, the new company began swallowing up its smaller competitors to expand their empire. The SM&A was targeted and the Southern attempted to buy them out in order to get a shorter route from Asheville to Knoxville instead of going northwest towards Morristown and then southwest to Knoxville. However no matter how many times the Southern tried to buy out the SM&A, they never succeeded.

It was because of these attempted takeovers that Jeremiah Mack decided to expand his railroad eastward again towards Asheville and beyond. In 1902, after getting several investors, the SM&A began construction to build east into the Great Smoky Mountains. However by the beginning of 1904, funds were beginning to run out and a workers strike derailed this plan. By the end of 1904, construction only got as far as a few miles from the Tennessee/North Carolina state border. With that the railroad had to declare bankruptcy. In January of 1905, the SM&A was put up for auction. After a furious betting battle, it seemed that the Southern Railway would finally swallow up the SM&A, but at the last second, an eager SM&A employee named Joseph T.C. Hartford, outbid the Southern by $500.00 and the SM&A became his railroad and was renamed the Knoxville & Asheville Railroad Company.
