The Aberdeen Carolina and Western Railway Company is the largest privately held shortline or regional railroad in North Carolina. The ACWR is a dual-served shortline, which means we interchange with Norfolk Southern in Charlotte, NC, and CSX Transportation in Aberdeen, NC. This valuable feature offers our customers access to the entire national railroad network in the US. Our central Mid-Atlantic and North Carolina location with close access to Charlotte, Greensboro, and Raleigh is another advantage the ACWR offers to shippers looking for access to industrial manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers.
