Abstract:

There are twenty-four railroad companies operating in North Carolina, from the Aberdeen and Rockfish (46.92 miles) to the Yancey Railroad (12.83 miles). Gross revenues amounted to $227 million in 1972 in North Carolina alone. However, profits are not as bountiful as passenger travel declines and fuel prices go up. This article examines some of the problems facing railroads.
