I was at the Carolina Panthers game today and noticed outside the stadium some trains located outside in what looked to be an exhibit of sorts. At what was I looking?

Thanks

What you were looking at on the other side of the Southern mainline was the old Piedmont and Northern's Cedar Yard. This is now a display, muesuem, resturant kinda thing. The P&N mainline at one time ran under the Southern main and continued to downtown. The main line is now a foot path for patrons of the Panthers. The walkway still goes under Southern, and the original bridge is still in service.
