AFT Maps Charlotte to Raleigh
Author: BoilingMan

October 28, 1976
This was mostly on the Southern (173mi), with a bit of SCL (former SAL 3mi) in Raleigh. A total of 176 miles.
We ran with green flags, most likely intended to cover the section from Greensboro to Raleigh where we were probably dispatced as an extra section of a local timed frieght. The AFT was limited to 25mph on this line- 10mph on some curves! (Charlotte to Greensboro is CTC- so the flags wouldn't count for anything on this part of the move).
The pilot crews handed off at Salisbury. Water stops at Salisbury, Greensboro, and Durham. P/U press at Durham. Display track in Raleigh is still there.
