Richmond Terminal Subdivision
The Richmond Terminal Subdivision is a railroad line owned by CSX Transportation in Virginia. The line is located within Richmond, Virginia, for a total of 4.3 miles. At its north end it continues south from the RF&P Subdivision and at its south end it continues south as the Bellwood Subdivision, which connects to CSX's S Line. It junctions with the North End Subdivision, which connects to CSX's A Line, at AY Interlocking.
The Richmond Terminal Subdivision runs along track that was originally part of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad.
Acca Yard, a major CSX freight yard, is located on the Subdivision. Slow speeds through the yard have frequently caused 20-30 minute delays to Amtrak passenger trains. The completion of a bypass around Acca Yard in March 2019 allowed a second Northeast Regional round trip to Norfolk to begin. The $132 million project was funded $119 million by the state and $13 million by CSX.
