No Amtrak's actually run on this stretch of track... It was part of a "turn" move due to construction north of R. Mt.

Virgil Fitzpatrick General Now where exactly in Rocky Mount is this? 10/14/2007 4:08:29 PM
Harold Hodnett General This is at the north end of the yard by the signals at "Charlie Baker"; this is a current eastbound track to eastern N.C. 11/29/2007 9:46:34 PM
Jonathan Shearin General What was going on? Amtrak does not service the eastern part of NC on this line. This spot is just south by a 1/2 mile or less of the station. I grew up just a few blocks from this track and never saw an Amtrak come down it, let alone 2! 12/16/2007 9:14:31 PM
Harold Hodnett General This shot was taken when there was construction north of Rocky Mount and the train temporarily terminated there; I don't remember all of the details. 11/29/2008 9:46:54 AM
