Vice-Presidential candidate Lyndon Johnson made a whistle-stop visit at High Point's passenger station on October 10, 1960, perhaps as a consolation for his running mate, John F. Kennedy, not stopping in High Point during his visit to North Carolina a month earlier. An inclement weather plan for Kennedy's daylong swing through the state on September 17 would have re-routed him to High Point and lunch at the Sheraton Hotel.
