NCRR builds bridge and passing siding near Lenoir-Wayne County line

摘要

Construction was completed on a new passing siding and bridge on the North Carolina Railroad Company (NCRR) corridor near the Lenoir-Wayne County line. The railroad said the improvements will increase rail capacity and improve safety on the eastern portion of the rail corridor that serves the Port of Morehead City, three military installations, as well as businesses and industries that use rail for shipping their products. More than 3.5 million tons of freight and military equipment were moved on the NCRR corridor in the project area last year. NCRR invested nearly $3.5mil-lion in the project. Norfolk Southern contributed approximately $150,000 and will provide ongoing track maintenance as operator of the NCRR line.
