Description
January 13, 2019 - NC Piedmont commuter train 74, with locomotive 1893, City of Burlington, leading, heads north out of the NS Charlotte Yard at Charlotte, NC bound for Raleigh, NC under stormy skies. According a 2011 press release from NCDOT, The North Carolina Department of Transportation's Rail Division commissioned the #1893 "City of Burlington" commuter locomotive into service for the use in their daily Piedmont passenger train service on December 15th, 2011. The then newly-refurbished locomotive replaced the locomotive damaged in a crash in Mebane in 2010. The #1893 "City of Burlington" is painted in the NCDOT Piedmont paint scheme, which incorporates the colors and symbols of North Carolina's state flag. NCDOT names its locomotives for the cities along its passenger rail corridor. Each locomotive's number corresponds to the incorporation or charter date of the city after which it is named.
