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:
“Ever notice how these European trains always smell of eau de cologne and hard boiled eggs?”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“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)
“Conventions, at the present moment, are really menaced. The most striking sign of this is that people are now making unconventionality a social virtue, instead of an unsocial vice. The switches have been opened, and the laden trains must take their chance of a destination.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
