CSX
Monroe Subdivision
Hamlet NC to Monroe NC
This portion of the giant CSX railroad system began life as the Wilmington, Charlotte & Rutherford Railroad in 1855. Later reorganized the Carolina Central in 1873, and then acquired by the Seaboard Air Line Railway in 1892. Today this is the Monroe Subdivision of the CSX Florence Division.
In this program, we feature the 42 mile stretch from Hamlet, NC to Monroe, NC. Video locations include Hamlet, Pee Dee, Lilesville, Wadesboro, Polkton, Peachland, Marshville, Wingate and Monroe, NC. A note to the viewer; as per the timetable, this is a North-South railroad, even though a compass may not agree.
Southbound traffic originates at the Hamlet classification yard and is destined to Atlanta and the southeast or toward Charlotte via the Charlotte Subdivision at Monroe.
Northbound traffic originates in the southeast and is routed via the yard at Greenwood, SC on the Monroe Sub. Coal originating in Kentucky is routed via the old Clinchfield line and the Charlotte Sub joins at Monroe. Coal Trains headed to to huge powerplant at Pennyroyal, SC get DPU helpers over the Monroe Sub. Also the connection with the Winston-Salem Southbound Railroad at Wadesboro adds traffic to the line.
Over 40 trains are featured.
The program is arranged in geographical order.
Pertinent train information is provided by subtitles.
There is no narration, just the stereo sound of CSX action!
Running Time: 92 Minutes
