Freight Railways.

North Carolina’s Southeast is truly a crossroads for national rail transportation, from the classification yards in Hamlet to the international facilities in Wilmington. Two of the nation’s premiere rail companies serve this region.

Primary North-South and East-West routes cross near the geographic center of the region and include some of the longest sections of straight and level tracks in the nation. The “railroad culture” and availability of high-quality rail services is a major economic feature of the Southeast, which has more than adequate rail service.
