Amtrak Silver Star 92 departs Cary as Carolinian #80 waits in the station in the background with Phase II Heritage 130 for power. 92 is on the CSX Aberdeen Sub, while 80 is on the NS NC Line. The tracks join up ahead at Fetner for the short trek to Raleigh.
Three north-south routes cross the Carolinas. Auto Train runs through here, too. Also, the State of North Carolina sponsors the Piedmont service and supports the Carolinian.
