Thank you all for the information! Tonight I caught 12R, 154, 153, and Amtrak 79. 12R was my favorite having NS 6969 leading 8)

Glad you had a successful trip.

I will be staying a couple nights in Salisbury, NC starting tomorrow. It appears there are 10 passenger trains that come to that Amtrak station there daily. Besides that, any idea how the NS freight traffic is? If so how many train per day? Also, what are the scanner frequencies for road and dispatch?
Thanks,

Did you make it to the Yadkin area? There's a really great train bridge over the Yadkin River with easy access for photos. Shot a couple of freights and a passenger train there a few years ago while on a business trip drive from Greensboro to Charlotte.

Looks like NS 222 is running more than twice a week from Atlanta to Charlotte. I heard them talking to the Charlotte Dispatcher around 23:00 last night.

Another NS 222 This morning. On CSX, an X 400 manifest train took the Monroe Sub 3-2-22. Not sure what the deal is with this, or where X 400 ended up running to.

I thought 221/222 was abolished! If I remember correctly the last time I railfanned south of satellite yard I never saw any of the two…

221 was abolished and it's consist was combined with NS 265. NS 222 wasn't abolished, just cut back to twice a week. 264 also runs to Charlotte. The last few weeks, 222 has been running 3 to 4 times a week, that i hear on the scanner anyways.

221 now runs from East Point Ga to Jacksonville Fla.

If someone would forward this to whoever edits the CSX Train ID section of the Wiki,........... The Former CSX F 793, Mt Holly - Lincolnton switcher is now IDd as an L 656.

The CSX Charlotte Sub was as close to congested between Charlotte and Monroe as it has been in years. The Chief is stopping everything to get i 038 in and i 037 out.

In theory anyone should be able to edit the wiki. I know there are some tech issues for logging in since a software update a while ago. But give it a try.
