The Robert C
Williams Paper Museum
is located
on West Campus. Railroads that chose not
to join
the NRPC system were required
to continue operating their existing passenger service until 1975
and thenceforth had
to pursue
the customary ICC approval process
for any discontinuance or alteration
to
the service. There
are also several roads named
for communities which have been overwhelmed by
the urban
and suburban sprawl
and so
are somewhat odd
to newcomers
These include Sandy Plains
Crabapple
Toonigh
Luxomni
and Due West
Some of these communities
are
in
the middle of
the road
while some
are
at or very near one end
Some areas
are renamed
either over time (Sandy Plains gradually became "Sprayberry" when Sprayberry High School moved there
and similarly named shopping centers popped up around it); by
the USPS (Toonigh
is identified
as "Lebanon")
or after rapid development
in such cases
the roads usually maintain their historic names even if
the neighborhoods do not. .
