Abstract:

The CAROLINIAN, an experimental Raleigh-to-Charlotte train sponsored by the state and Amtrak, is attracting a variety of riders. Funded by the legislature on a one-year trial bases, the train has to attract about 100,000 riders in a year to meet Amtrak’s ridership projection to keep the train on track.
