Yes I would like to join the group.

I don't think you have any line conflicts, but you might wanna post a map to see if anyone has connections. .

Anyone currently in the group object?

[CarolinaSouthern]

Carolina Southern has reached agreements with NS and CSX for trackage rights.

The NS Rights give Carolina Southern into Ashville, Burlington, and everything between.

The CSX Rights give Carolina Souhen to Abbeville, Florence, Bennttsville, and everything between.

If there are no objections or line conflicts before tomorrow at 18:00 EDT, you're in.

I don't think there are any conflicts. Not much in that neck of the woods on this board. The HPR in the SE, then PC, AW, MNTC and maybe another? over there, but I think mostly north of the Carolinas.

HPR is only in Georgia and Alabama, so no confilicts from me.

[conrailman75]

PC doesn't go east of Pittsburgh, PA nor south of Louisville, KY so definitely no conflicts with me.

[ES44AH]

MNTC doesnt go south of Maryland, i see no problems.

Carolina Southern has purchased one more locomotive, and the paint scheme on this one will be the official paint scheme of the Carolina Southern.

EMD SD41-2. Rebuilt SD40-2 on SD38AC Frame. RN # 4102

[CarolinaSouthern]

The Carolina Southern has worked out two deals with CSX and NS. We now have lines that were CSX into Hartsville, SC, Laurens, SC, Spartanburg, SC, and Greenvile, SC.

With NS, we now ave lines into Statesville, NC, Salisbury, NC, Asheville, NC, and Lincolnton, NC.

[CarolinaSouthern]

An SD40-2 has been purchased from the Union Pacific after siting in storage for 15 years. We tested it out, and it runs fine. The cab is clean, everything works properly, and since we are low of funds now, we will not be repainting it for a while.

[ES44AH]

Do you want some of our older diesels? Most of them run.

[CarolinaSouthern]

Depends. What do you have?

The Carolina Southern now owns track into Greensboro, NC, Boone, NC, and Raleigh, NC, which was NS.
