Subject: Re: Durham division

        Did the Norfolk and Western  passenger trains use the Union station in central Durham or was there another station?  
 
 Jim: N&W passenger trains used Union Station until 10/10/1955. After that, mixed trains Nos. 71-72 originated/terminated at Duke Yard.  Before that date, passenger traffic for downtown Durham was handled on the Duke Belt Line to a junction near West Main Street,  then it was about 2/10ths of a mile to the station.
