🐾 Happy National Dog Day! 🐾 Today, we’re celebrating our furry friends who bring joy and companionship to our lives. To mark this special day, our employees’ pets are all geared up in safety gear, ready to show their support for #RailSafety! Additionally, #TeamNCRR hosted a pet food drive, where 1,550 lbs of pet food were delivered to Rowan County Animal Shelter last week! A huge thank you to Nestlé Purina North America, Redgate, and E&V Strategic Communications for their contributions. We’re ecstatic to give back to the community and pay homage to one of our 2020 #NCRRInvests awards, which contributed to the Purina facility in #EdenNC! RCAS’ mission is to protect the health and welfare of the animals living in Rowan County, as well as to find homes and rescues to place those that have found themselves in the custody of the shelter. Thank you, RCAS, for all the work you do to protect the health and welfare of animals living in Rowan County. We’re glad we could help celebrate National Dog Day and give back to a community along our corridor. #NationalDogDay #NCRRGivesBack #Safety #ForeverInMotion

Across the state, North Carolinians are gearing up for a new academic year. According to the National Retail Federation, total back-to-school spending across the country is expected to reach $38.8 billion this year. As you look out for the best deals on folders, loose-leaf paper, pencils, and lunch boxes, we encourage you to consider how these products made their way into your backpack. Raw materials are often transported by rail to production facilities. Once finalized, products are transported in intermodal containers, which are unloaded and sorted upon reaching regional distribution centers. From there, they are transported via trucks in the final leg of their journey to a local store near you. Chances are your new composition notebook has taken more train rides than you! #BackToSchool #ForeverInMotion

Applications for the 2024 Build Ready Sites program are now open and we'll be accepting applications through September 27! In 2021, we launched the #BuildReadySites program to provide funding for rail-served sites to prepare the land and become "build ready" to attract new businesses to the area. This year, we supplemented BRS with our #Brownfields program, which allocates additional funding to sites classified as brownfields. Don’t miss this opportunity to continue making NC a top state for business! Click here to apply: https://lnkd.in/gQfgAfss #BuildReady #EconomicDevelopment #ForeverInMotion

Welcome aboard, Patrick Pierce, CEcD! Patrick will join NCRR as our new Director of Economic and Business Development, bringing big ideas and fresh energy to the team. We can’t wait to see all that he’ll accomplish for the state. Let’s get this train rolling! #EconomicDevelopment #ForeverInMotion #TeamNCRR #Welcome #NewHire
Four and a half years ago we packed our bags and headed east 3,000 miles to Clayton, NC. Since coming here, I have learned so much about myself, about being an effective economic developer, and about this great state and community. It has been a wild ride, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Thank you to Rich Cappola, PE and the Town of Clayton for their confidence in me and their commitment to economic development. Yesterday, I handed in my badge and set my sites on a new adventure as the Director of Economic and Business Development at North Carolina Railroad Company! I am so excited to tackle this new challenge, learn more about this unique company, and talk trains and economic development all day. What is cooler than that!?!

#ThrowbackThursday #DidYouKnow in 1927, a fire burned through the former Southern Railway passenger station on S. Elm Street, Greensboro, NC? The fire caused $15,000 in damages, in today’s money that’s around $271,000. The fire destroyed the original roof and damaged the attic, burning stored records and forcing a relocation of the transportation and roadway offices of the Danville system division. As we look ahead and envision the future of this historic site, let’s not forget its fascinating past.
