The Southern Environmental Law Center is taking the N.C. Railroad to court because it believes the track company needs to be treated like everybody else.
The N.C. Railroad calls a 317-line its own, a line from Morehead City, N.C., through the Triangle and Piedmont to Charlotte, N.C. The Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) wants the state’s Records Act to apply to N.C. Railroad. The law states, “public records and public information compiled by the agencies of North Carolina government or its subdivisions are the property of the people.”
