The Viewing Area

1....Maco is located in Brunswick County, in the far southern part of North Carolina. It is 12 miles northwest of Wilmington on US Highway 74/76. The railroad crossing is located outside of town. Copyright 1998 by Troy Taylor (http://www.prairieghosts.com/maco.html)

2.... Get to where the Maco Road (Highway 87) crosses over Highway 74/76 (Andrew Jackson Highway). Head back into Wilmington on 74/76, and 1.2 miles later you come to Stella Road; its a dirt road, and you're in eastern North Carolina, so watch out for dogs. Hang a right onto Stella, go probably 50 yards or so, and you'll be able to see where the tracks used to pass through. Looking towards Wilmington, as the tracks approached the Maco station, was where Joe quite literally lost his head, and then came back to look for it. But like I said, the tracks are long-gone, and the scariest thing we noticed was the size of the mosquitos. tarheel@unforgettable.com (http://members.nbci.com/ncghosts/joe.htm)
