Pinnacle (Milepost CF 19.1)

Even after my second trip to the region, I do not know much about Pinnacle. It is a small community in southwest Stokes County.  It was incorporated in 1901, but it's charter was repealed in 1903.   Originally, it was known as Culler, for Emmanuel W. Culler who owned part of the land on which the railroad station was built (around 1888). The present name was adopted in 1894.  It is at an altitude of 1,085 feet.

It had a capacity for 34 cars in the sidings and spurs. Train 61 stopped every day except Sunday at 11:50 AM or thereabouts as it headed north and west to Mount Airy..Train 60 dropped in about 9:55 AM on the way to Greensboro daily except Sundays.

Here's a shot of track is close to Pinnacle, but is actually in King, looking south.

I would really appreciate any information on this town from anybody knowledgeable!
