The Tennessee & North Carolina Railroad linked the community of Sunburst, N.C., and its large lumber operation to Canton, N.C., located to the north. Sunburst could be reached by rail in about an hour and fifteen minutes. A July 25, 1913, Supplement to the Jackson County Journal (Sylva, N.C.) reported: 'The town of Sunburst, the saw mill village, is a thriving town, with electric lights, water system, hotel accommodations, a system of beautiful bungalows . . . . The Tennessee and North Carolina railroad with its Pigeon river division from Canton to Sunburst has been built within the past three years and has meant much to the commercial development of this section. The line has one of the best roadbeds in the state and the cars are of up-to-date and fine make. A regular passenger schedule is operated and a large amount of traffic handled.'
