Cape Fear

Company History: This 11 mile independently owned shortline connects the U.S. Army’s Fort Bragg in North Carolina to a connection with the Aberbeen & Rockfish in Skibo. They also operate the trackage within the base. The line was originally built as a passenger trolley line but became a common carrier freight operation in 1923. Locomotives are lettered for the United States Army and were built specifically for the Army but it’s unclear if CF leases them or just uses them on behalf of the Army.
