History

Amtrak first introduced the Carolinian on October 28, 1984, in partnership with the state of North Carolina. The train ran over the same route as the modern Carolinian from Charlotte to Richmond, Virginia

for the journey to New York. North Carolina supported the Carolinian with a $436,000 yearly subsidy. It was the first direct Raleigh—Charlotte service in 30 years and the first North Carolina-specific service in 20 years. An early alternative name for the service was the Piedmont Palmetto. Amtrak discontinued the Carolinian on September 3, 1985, after North Carolina declined to renew its support for another year. Although ridership was higher than projected, revenues were not: most passengers traveled within North Carolina and did not continue to the Northeast. Supporters of the Carolinian blamed Amtrak and the state for not marketing the train properly.

Amtrak and North Carolina re-launched the Carolinian on May 12, 1990, although this time the Carolinian joined the Palmetto in Rocky Mount, North Carolina
