I believe they still do.In 1998 i talked to the train crew they said the track was washed out around Star NC.In midland NC there is a owens corrning plant there but no rail service.They could get the spur but the railroad wants to much to build it.I know somebody that works there.Sometime around 1998 1999 the train hit a truck carring chicken feed in Midland NC running long nose foward heavy dammage to the unit.I took pitchers of the unit looks like X CSX.

They run the western end of the old original Norfolk Southern into Charlotte. I believe that like most short lines, all the ACWR trains are extras, so they don't have a schedule. Their website is not working.
