The North Carolina Railroad (NCRR) runs north to south through the middle of Cabarrus County. This dual -track railroad passes through the municipalities of Kannapolis, Concord, and Harrisburg. Norfolk Southern Railway has contracted with the NCRR for rights to haul freight on this line. The NCRR operates periodic passenger service, which stops in Kannapolis. b. The Aberdeen Carolina and Western Railroad operates the east -west rail line through the southern corner of the County, passing through the community of Midland. This line carries short-haul freight traffic. c. CSX operates the rail line that runs through the northeast corner of the County. This line carries freight traffic along the Highway 52 corridor. The Concord Regional Airport, a general aviation facility, is located on Aviation Boulevard in the western section of the County. It is immediately west and parallel to I- 85. The facility has two runways, one 7400 feet and the other 7000 feet long. There are also several small private airfields in Cabarrus County. 4. Very few of the highways or railroad lines are affected by flooding in the County. Interstate 85, US Highways 29 and 601, and NC Highways 49 and 73 remain clear. Flooding does affect some other state roads in the County, but these flooded areas can be normally bypassed on other routes. B. Assumptions For planning purposes, Cabarrus County is responsible for delivering relief supplies to its citizens. This task is not the responsibility of the State of North Carolina or the Federal Emergency Management Agency. During small incidents, the State will only send those commodities that the County requests. During large incidents or incidents that continue over a long period of time, the Cabarrus County Emergency Management and the North Carolina Division of Emergency Management coordinates the distribution of supplies as needed. If requested by Cabarrus County, the State of North Carolina provides a logistics liaison team to assist the County in monitoring commodity usage so that minimal resources remain at the end of the emergency period.
