NS's piedmont division

Could someone help me finish this list on NS trains that run on the Piedmont Division (Between Atlanta, Ga and Greenville, SC)? Destinations and orgins of these would also be appreciated.

P019, P020 (NB and SB Crescent)

NS 118-

NS 119-

NS P37-

NS 44A-

NS 203-

NS 204-

NS 152-

NS 153-

NS 154-

NS 212-

NS 213-

NS 237-

NS 238-

NS 221-

NS C106-

Thanks in advance for any information.

Right off the top of my head I can also think of 238, intermodal/autoracks from Atlanta-Charleston via Spartanburg (and Greenville). I’ll have more once I check my handy dandy notebook!

Also, these are not “regulars” but 913 (rail train) and 980 (Ceterpillar heavy equipent) are specials that can often be found on the Piedmont between Atlanta and Greenville.

Did you check here: http://www.angelfire.com/sc2/nstrains/

I don’t know how up-to-date this spreadsheet is, but I often use it to cross check the trains I spot on the Piedmont Division between Atlanta and Greenville. Has origin/destination info as well. For example, these seem to be correct since I have spotted them and I have crosschecked railfan photo sites:

NS 211: Croxton, NJ - Atlanta, GA
NS 214: Atlanta, GA - E-Rail, NJ
NS 222: Atlanta, GA - Charlotte, NC
NS 25T: Rutherford, PA - Atlanta, GA
etc.

Thanks for the info and the website.

Add 75N to the list. Heard it called out last night.

FYI I post videos of the NS Piedmont Division Greenville District on my channel page at YouTube:

I have shot many of the trains that you have referenced above. Hope this helps a little.

Nice collection. If you ever see anything of interest heading North, how about giving me a heads up?

Hey sorry I missed this post from you. No problem on the heads up on northbounds. Will let you know what I find whenever I am out shooting video.

Just what I was looking for. Thanks.

Does anyone know how long 90Q will be working the piedmont?

I believe 90Q is handling the tie replacement? I hear it all the time over the last week or so above Buford, but I can tell you there are stacks of ties along the right-of-way all the way down to Norcross. Jamie

Yeah, that’s it.

Heard a new one today. 42T. Does anyone know it’s orgin/destination?

It’s an unscheduled grain train from Princton IN to Toccoa GA.

A new one (for me) is P11 which apparently runs from a Toyota facility in Commerce, GA to Atlanta. It actually uses the branch that goes off of the Atl-Wash mainline at Lula. This looks like a cool train: unit autoracks, and it runs right through the streets in Commerce. I am going to do some research to find out when it runs, but so far my “rail sense” indicates that it does Commerce-Atlanta on Fridays, coming into Atlanta late friday afternoon. I have spotted it the last two Fridays holding on the doubletrack south of Norcross while the afternoon northbounds pass by.

It’s a 7 day a weeker that gets out of Commerce most days between 4 and 6 PM.

I heard 44A for the second time yesterday. Anyone know the info on it?

44A is loaded grain going to Baldwin GA. Runs as needed.
