I've done this flight.

[Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch]

The longest flight in the world.

Singapore Airlines Flight SQ23, from New York to Singapore.

Over 9,500 miles and nearly 19 hours of flying.

For nearly 200 years, #railroads have connected America and fueled its economy. From the early 1800s to today, railroads are proud to keep America moving. #NationalTrainDay #America250

Today marks the 81st anniversary of Allied victory in Europe, bringing an end to World War II on the continent.

At the World War II Memorial, stone and bronze honor the millions who served, remember those who never came home, and mark a turning point in the fight to restore freedom.

As the generation who lived this history grows smaller, places like this ensure their stories endure. We honor their courage, their service, and the sacrifice that made victory possible. 🇺🇸

Roy Cooper was a complete failure at keeping our communities safe.

19 North Carolinians would be alive today if Roy Cooper had not released their killers from prison.

Victims’ families deserve answers. Why did Roy Cooper allow these dangerous criminals back on our streets?

True story. Unable to sleep, President Richard Nixon visited the Lincoln Memorial around 4:30 am with his valet, doctor, and Secret Service detail 56 years ago today. Meeting students who were in #WashingtonDC to protest his policies, Nixon tried but failed to connect with them. The Lincoln Memorial remains open 24 hours a day for anyone seeking a moment of quiet reflection or a chance encounter with strangers.

It was great to welcome @votetimscott to Raleigh today for a roundtable hosted by the @NCChamber. We had a productive conversation with key leaders about lowering costs for NC families and continuing to bring job-creating industries to the Old North State.

🚨#BREAKING: For the FIRST TIME in the 558 days since Hurricane Helene...

...a train has now rolled through the town of Old Fort NC.

Probably matters to very few people in this world, but I honestly never thought we would see this.

[Secretary Markwayne Mullin @SecMullinDHS]

Today, I had the opportunity to meet the fearless State and Local leaders of western North Carolina who are rebuilding their communities after the devastation of Hurricane Helene.

I saw first hand hurricane damage still present and will be making sure @FEMA relief continues to help Americans rebuild their homes and communities.

I am humbled and honored to serve the citizens of our great Homeland. Thanks for having me.

I'm delighted to have orchestrated this donation to the North Carolina Transportation Museum Foundation supporting the State Historic Site at Spencer. This is a significant example of the importance of historic preservation in the railroad community. I couldn't be more pleased.

The NS Geometry Train is completing final inspections along the AS Line between Old Fort and Grovestone, including Old Fort Loops in North Carolina.

Using advanced lasers, sensors, and cameras, this high‑tech geometry car inspects alignment, gauge, curvature, and surface conditions—all in real time while on the move.

Every mile is carefully measured to ensure the track is ready for safe, reliable service following restoration after Hurricane Helene.

The first train will be rolling again soon. Stay tuned for more updates!

RJ Corman has announced it will unveil a pair of specially painted C40-8Ws to honor America's 250th anniversary later this summer.  They expect 1776 to be ready by July while 2026 will arrive in September.

Healthcare costs are out of control, and patients deserve answers. Kudos @ChristLawmakers for passing model legislation to hold bad hospital actors accountable. North Carolina should prioritize this issue and bring these commonsense reforms home. https://t.co/fAiz0BSzAb

NC lawmakers should support creating a pathway for housing accessibility in our communities. I hope our legislators will find ways to support local investments that assist our housing market and enable more folks access to affordable rental housing.

William is on point with his opinion and how it would benefit North Carolina.

[North State Journal @nsjnews]

In Opinion, William Morgan says the proposed merger of Warner Bros. Discovery and Netflix would benefit North Carolina and should be allowed.

Sovereignty is not negotiable.

You simply cannot lay claim to someone else's territory and then claim there is a dispute and other people have to talk with you—whether you are a dictatorship or a democracy.

But when you have become a democracy, that means the government in power has been put in power by the wishes of the people. You would expect such a government to respect the wishes of other people.

Our Rail Operations team has been busy moving equipment following our busy winter season. Southern Railway GP30 No. 2601 recently did the honors pulling Southern Railway 2-8-0 No. 542 back toward the Roundhouse where it has been put back on display!
