I don't know what state this location will be in when you read this. Since first writing this, the area around Logans/the old Seaboard Station has been a beehive of development and like as not the building will be gone. So sad. So many memories for so many Wake County residents. I have save this here so we can remember.

We all know it today as Logan's Nursery, but in its heyday, Seaboard Air Line Railroad Depot was a bustling place. It was our gateway to points north and the sunny south.
