This project was an appraisal of 317 miles of track owned by the state of NC and operated by Class I Norfolk Southern Railroad. The appraisal included 3 divisions with different track profiles, over 8,000 acres of property and 47 buildings. The corridor was inspected for condition, inventory and operations, and NCRR’s GIS system was utilized to identify and measure right of way width, sidings, cross-overs, turnouts and crossings along the entire corridor. The appraisal included over 1,500 easements, both by contract and assumed, of numerous types including underground, overhead, longitudinal roadways, etc. and identified additional encroachments for potential revenue seeking and appraisal discounting. The appraisal also included extensive Class I track components on Norfolk Southern’s Piedmont Division on track maintained in condition handling frequent Amtrak trains on its Crescent Line.
