Atlantic Coast Line to Build Weldon Garysburg Double Track
ACL plans about four miles of double track from Weldon to Garysburg North Carolina by elevating the line through Weldon on a 3700 foot steel viaducts and concrete piers. The structure will rise 90 feet above the Roanoke River with heavy concrete and steel work and an elevated passenger station. Elevators will move baggage and express to the ACL level and all grade crossings in Weldon will be removed. The project creates an entirely new line but will not disrupt train service.
