Transportation officials are considering the development of rapid passenger rail service linking Charlotte and Atlanta.
A federal study released this month found that officials could realistically develop service that travels between 90 and 110 mph without needing major changes to the existing rail corridor.
The study assumed there would be as many as nine stops between Charlotte and Atlanta as it crosses through South Carolina.
Officials in the three states are now preparing to conduct a more detailed study to assess ridership and costs.
