Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS departures from Norfolk, VADate: 07/31/22 18:48 NS departures from Norfolk, VA Author: Gerrypaul As I understand the following: #22A to Louisville, #233 to Chicago, & #227 to Harrisburg. Those are three regular departures from Norfolk ( correct?). Are there others?
Does anyone know currently accurate typical departure times of any/all of these trains from Norfolk? The #227 does a pick-up of manifest in Crewe before heading on to Harrisburg? I think that's right...or does it depart Norfolk with the manifest? All of these leave moving south, then do that loop-around at Weldon, NC to head up toward D.C., right? Any info on any of this is appreciated! ---Gerrypaul Date: 07/31/22 19:25 Re: NS departures from Norfolk, VA Author: doc1057 You're mixing the NS and CSX routes west from Norfolk. NS takes the old N&W mainline, which goes through Petersburg and Lyncbburg en-route to Roanoke. CSX trains from Norfolk take the former SAL to Weldon, then move onto the ex-ACL "A-line" to continue.
Date: 07/31/22 19:41 Re: NS departures from Norfolk, VA Author: ShortlinesUSA For my own clarification, does CSX have any operations in Norfolk proper? I have always considered them as serving the Hampton Roads area from Portsmouth. Is that correct?
Mike Derrick Date: 07/31/22 19:41 Re: NS departures from Norfolk, VA Author: Asheville_G And CSX doesn’t really go to Norfolk.
The “Portsmouth Sub” runs Portsmouth, VA to Weldon, NC. A pair of locals run this route, as well as I135, I136, and some grain/ethanol. Posted from iPhone Date: 07/31/22 19:42 Re: NS departures from Norfolk, VA Author: Asheville_G Mike, absolutely correct. CSX does not serve Norfolk proper.

Trains are rarely on time and are often annulled and / or combined. So take the following schedules with a grain of salt.
The following are the scheduled outbound road trains and their profiled departure times (in order of departure) 22A Norfolk - Louisville daily 04:00. 29G Norfolk - Sandusky daily 14:00. 233 Norfolk - Chicago Landers daily 21:30. 227 Norfolk - Enola daily 23:00. Departs Norfolk with a manifest block. The following are the scheduled inbound road trains and their profiled arrival times (in order of arrival) 23G Louisville - Norfolk daily 09:30. 228 Enola - Norfolk daily 12:15. Arrives in Norfolk with a manifest block. 234 Chicago Landers - Norfolk daily 15:40. 21N Detroit Livernois - Norfolk daily 15:50. There are a couple of local turns that run in and out of Norfolk V07 Norfolk - Suffolk daily turn. Profiled Norfolk departure at 14:00 and arrival at 00:15. V13 Petersburg - Norfolk Mo-Fr turn. Profiled Norfolk arrival at 02:15 and departure at 04:15. There are also about 3-4 coal trains a day in and out of Lamberts Point. Two outbound empty trains are often combined. Unit grain trains also make a sporadic appearance. Unit trains can show up any time of the day or night.

NS 227 to Enola, PA: Where does it turn north to Manassas; Lynchburg or Roanoke? Does the same hold true for NS 228 south?
Also, what NS manifest comes east from Roanoke to Lynchburg.on the former N&W..before turning north to Manassas on the former Southern and then going west on the B-Line?.. Date: 08/01/22 06:29 Re: NS departures from Norfolk, VA Author: florida581 cinder Wrote:

Both 227 and 228 make the turn at Lynchburg. > Also, what NS manifest comes east from Roanoke to > Lynchburg.on the former N&W..before turning north > to Manassas on the former Southern and then going > west on the B-Line?.. 18M and 19M (Elkhart - Crewe pair) are the only manifests that run between Roanoke and Lynchburg, but those continue east to and from Crewe. 11Z / 12Z (to / from Enola) and 304 / 305 (to / from Shenandoah) run north out of Roanoke on the ex-N&W Roanoke District. 12R / 13R (Enola - Linwood / Columbia pair) are the only manifests that run north out of Lynchburg on the ex-SOU, as well as the Lynchburg - Alexandria locals K95 / K99.

Those would seem to be new trains... That's good news for H line fans s it would get the line back to 3 train scheduled pairs of trains running much of the line with some of the best scenery. I assume they are trying to reduce the amount of work the 11Z/12Z have to do enroute? Are these running on any kind of a schedule? Running Daily? Date: 08/02/22 15:56 Re: NS departures from Norfolk, VA Author: ns7500 Yes 304/305 were adding bc of the traffic on 11z/12 I will also mention that 201/202 will get routed differently soon along with a new symbol and 227/228 will have new symbols also
