Album Info:
The Aberdeen Carolina & Western Railway Co. operates 160 miles of trackage in south-central North Carolina from Aberdeen westward to Charlotte & eastward to Gulf, serving businesses in Montgomery, Moore, Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Chatham, & Stanly counties. The company was incorporated in 1987 to purchase the former Norfolk Southern branch from Aberdeen to Star.

Commodities carried by the railroad are lumber, forest products, grain, agricultural products, plastics, building materials, propane gas, & solite rock products. Principal shippers are; Mountaire Farms, Perdue Farms, N.G. Purvis Farms & Talley Farms-producers of feed for poultry; Locust Lumber, Banks Lumber, Jordan Lumber, McDonald Brothers, B&B Supply Company, & Cotton Creek Chip Company- Lumber Producers, producers of finished lumber, & wood chips for the pulp & paper industry; American Energy, Oakboro Oil Company, & Texon LP- propane gas, biodiesel & butane distributors; Polythin- producers of plastics; Standard Mineral- distributors of pyrophyllite; Boral Brick, distributors of bricks; Carolina Stalite- distributors of light aggregate; Gulistan Carpet- producers of carpet & flooring materials; & McGee Brothers- distributors of machinery. The ACWR runs near the largest stand of hardwoods in the Carolinas, & has access to numerous industrial sites along its lines. Since its inception, the ACWR has upgraded more than 30 miles of its track with 132 pound continuously welded rail to handle today's larger capacity freight cars. The ACWR has connections with 4 railroads: CSX, NS, Aberdeen & Rockfish, & Winston Salem Southbound.
