The Red Line would provide a first-of-its-kind commuter rail service between Uptown Charlotte and the northern suburbs, including the Lake Norman region.
Charlotte leaders have been considering whether to spend $91 million to purchase existing Norfolk Southern tracks between Charlotte and the northern suburb of Davidson. The tracks, which the freight railroad calls the O-Line, are part of the 2030 regional transit plan.
