Oakboro Railroad Heritage
The four SD40-3s from ACWR train 100 have just cut off from their train and enter the yard at Oakboro to assemble their pickup for the trip to Norfolk Southern's Liddell Yard in Charlotte. The caboose is an indicator of the rail heritage of the line as it was originally part of Norfolk Southern Railway's original Norfolk to Charlotte main line, which was later absorbed into the Southern Railway and present Norfolk Southern and sold to the Aberdeen, Carolina, and Western Railway.
