CSX Norlina Subdivision

Former Seaboard Air Line Railroad (SAL) mainline between Petersburg, VA and Raleigh, NC. In 1987 CSX abandoned the line between Norlina and Petersburg, Virginia. Today CSX operates as far north as the Vulcan Materials quarry in Greystone. All photos are in geographical order from north to south. View each image in "original" size for best results.

I really liked your photos! I saw steam engines of both the seaboard and the virginian as a kid while living in Portsmouth, Virginia. I also remember when the fm diesels showed up on the virginian.

Passed through Norlina a few times. Interesting how the line heading north is overgrown with weeds but when you get into town, it is clean and ballasted. Last time I was there the ballast looked fresh. Makes me wonder why that is if there are no trains. Have MOW trains come into town, maybe?

I work for CSX with the MOW section crew out of Apex and we service this area. These are some great pictures of a beautiful part of NC. Thanks.
