Commodities included poultry feed ingredients, steel, scrap metal, fertilizer, concrete, and railcar storage, which accounted for around 3,500 annual carloads.[1]
The railroad rosterered three EMD GP38s, numbered 345, 2068, and 9657.
In the 1990s Gulf & Ohio Railways gained control of a number of Laurinburg & Southern subsidiaries, including the Nash County railroad on February 28, 1994.[3] Initially traffic consisted of grain, fertilizer, scrap metal, and forest products, amounting to 4,000 annual carloads.[2]
On April 8, 2005 the railroad planned to abandon 4.7 miles (7.6 km) of tracks between Momeyer and Spring Hope, North Carolina. However, the North Carolina Department of Transportation sought to purchase the segment before it was abandoned, which it did on April 3, 2006 after reaching an agreement with the Nash County railroad.[4]
