Abstract:

Timblin discusses the tremendous comeback passenger trains have made in North Carolina. Along with The Carolinian and The Piedmont, both Amtrak trains, the state is considering additional routes in the East. The North Carolina Department of Transportation has begun to restore stations, including those at Hickory, Black Mountain, and Old Fort, and building new ones in Asheville and Valdese.
