After Hurricane Helene disrupted rail service across Western North Carolina, Norfolk Southern is bringing freight trains back through our communities — and that’s something worth celebrating.

This is more than a train.
It’s a step toward reconnecting our region — and a reminder of what’s possible for the future of both freight and passenger rail in Burke County.

👉 Join us in Valdese to watch the train pass through!
We’ll gather along the tracks with:

☕ Lemonade and Cookies 
🇺🇸 Flags (bring one if you have it!)
🪑 Bring a chair and enjoy the moment

🕣 Time: 11:00 AM 
📍 Location: Valdese Old Depot Location

Let’s show up, wave our flags, and celebrate this milestone together.

Because in Burke County…
Trails build places. Trains connect them.
