Restoring service to Asheville. 🚂

Yesterday marked a momentous milestone: non-revenue Train 98A passed through Asheville’s River Arts District—an area that was completely underwater just months ago during Hurricane Helene.

The line between Asheville and Newport was among the hardest hit. Remote terrain, heavy flooding, and mountain conditions wiped out entire stretches of track.

Thanks to the relentless work of our railroaders, this train rolling is a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come.

Many of our team members call this area home and took great pride in restoring service to Asheville. Their hard work and commitment were vital not only to our recovery but also to the communities we serve.

Recovery efforts are still underway, but this progress speaks volumes about the resilience, determination, and grit of Team NS.
