The NCVA began operations in 1987[1] on a former Seaboard Coast Line Railroad from Boykins, Virginia, to Tunis in Cofield, North Carolina. The headquarters are in Ahoskie, North Carolina. The NCVA is owned by RailAmerica, having been acquired in 2000[1] and also operates the Virginia Southern Railroad (VSRR) and Chesapeake and Albemarle Railroad (CA).
