The Aberdeen Subdivision hosts both CSX freight trains and Amtrak passenger trains. The line has passenger stations in Southern Pines and Cary. Passenger trains also serve Raleigh Union Station at the north end of the line though the station's platform is just east of the Aberdeen Subdivison on Norfolk Southern's H Line (which passenger trains take east to CSX's A Line in Selma).

History

Southern Pines station along the Aberdeen Subdivision, which was built in 1898 by the Raleigh and Augusta Air Line Railroad.

The Aberdeen Subdivision was originally built by the Raleigh and Augusta Air Line Railroad, which began operation in the late 1800s.[3] The Raleigh and Augusta Air Line Railroad was merged into the Seaboard Air Line Railroad in 1901, and became part of its main line.[4]

Seaboard eventually became the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad in 1967 and then CSX Transportation by 1986. The line is part of CSX's S Line (which is the designation for the former Seaboard Air Line main line).
