Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox rail

The Caldwell County Railroad Шаблон:Reporting mark is a Class III shortline railroad operating over Шаблон:Convert between Hickory and Lenoir, North Carolina. The CWCY is operated by Southeast Shortlines, Inc., which also operates the Thermal Belt Railway.[1]

History

The Caldwell County Railroad was formed in 1994 when Norfolk Southern sold the Шаблон:Convert line from Hickory to Lenoir to the Caldwell County Economic Development Commission (CCEDC). The CCEDC subsequently leased the line to the Caldwell County Railroad Company, a subsidiary of Southeast Shortlines Inc.[2]

The line was originally constructed as Шаблон:Track gauge gauge in 1874, under the charter of the Chester & Lenoir.[3] The line was part of the subsequent reorganization into the Carolina & North-Western Railway in 1897, which was absorbed into the Southern Railway around 1940.[4] As part of the Thoroughbred Shortline Program, the line was spun off to the Carolina and Northwestern Railroad, which operated the line from 1990 to 1994.[5]

On March 21, 2007, the CWCY filed a request with the Surface Transportation Board to abandon Шаблон:Convert of its line near Lenoir to near Valmead. The request was approved on July 9, 2007.[6]
