In June 2017, Carolina Coastal Railway (CLNA) completed an industrial side track for Quality Mats and Seaboard Timber in Plymouth. Quality Mats manufactures crane mats for construction purposes. The construction of the 2,000-linear foot side track and concrete pit for the use of unloading bottom dump railcars, cost approximately $418,000. Through the Rail Industrial Access Program, which is funded by the Freight Rail & Rail Crossing Safety Improvement fund, the project received $170,000 in matching funds. Since the opening of the side track, over 600 car loads of material have utilized the track. CLNA also used the new side track for the delivery of thousands of steel gas line pipes when building the Dominion Natural Gas line in North Carolina.
