Within the last few years, the North Carolina Railroad (NCRR), currently leased to Norfolk Southern, has been improving rail capacity by adding a second mainline track between Greensboro and High Point. The second track was originally removed in the 1960s as part of a CTC project and has become a major choke point in the present day’s passenger and freight operations on the line. Approximately 30 NS and 6 Amtrak trains use this portion of the NS Danville District on a daily basis. The construction has been ongoing for the last 2 years and is nearing completion.
