Trains
All manifest trains travel to and from nearby Linwood Yard and it is an official stop for new crews. However, eastbound trains who are bound for Columbia, South Carolina, will stop at nearby Fulton St. in Salisbury and change crew and the train will hit the Charlotte District, and then as soon as they pass the Queen City they hit the Columbia District onto the R-Line and head south.
Salisbury is 45 minutes north of Charlotte.

Famous quotes containing the word trains:
“Every American travelling in England gets his own individual sport out of the toy passenger and freight trains and the tiny locomotives, with their faint, indignant, tiny whistle. Especially in western England one wonders how the business of a nation can possibly be carried on by means so insufficient.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“To write weekly, to write daily, to write shortly, to write for busy people catching trains in the morning or for tired people coming home in the evening, is a heartbreaking task for men who know good writing from bad. They do it, but instinctively draw out of harm’s way anything precious that might be damaged by contact with the public, or anything sharp that might irritate its skin.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“The complaint ... about modern steel furniture, modern glass houses, modern red bars and modern streamlined trains and cars is that all these objets modernes, while adequate and amusing in themselves, tend to make the people who use them look dated. It is an honest criticism. The human race has done nothing much about changing its own appearance to conform to the form and texture of its appurtenances.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
