NCDOT 1871 Town of Cary (Debut July 21, 2017) is an EMD F59PH Piedmont train. It first ran about a month after City of Kannapolis. This will be the final Piedmont train, until further announcement.

Her front gate is white, her front is mostly blue and her back is white with NORTH CAROLINA written in black. Above her wheels is a red strip and a yellow stripe above that. All of the F59PH's are identical, except for the number and name.

Piedmont Career (2017- Present)
Not much is known about this engine at the time, since it is fairly new. The locomotive is, currently, the newest Piedmont train. Unlike most engines, which have 'City' as the first part of their name, 1871 has 'Town' instead.
