The US Army's Camp Bragg opened in 1918 as a field artillery training center just west of Fayetteville in Cumberland County. The military base covered some 200 square miles. It was renamed Fort Bragg in 1922, and the Army had its own base railroad, the Cape Fear Railway, with which the Aberdeen & Rockfish Railroad established a connection in 1926 just outside Fayetteville at Skibo Junction.
