CSX Fitzgerald Sub Route Summary
Located in the heart of central Georgia, the Fitzgerald Subdivision
is one of CSX's most vital arteries in the Southeast, linking Southern
Georgia and Florida to the Midwest, including Atlanta, Birmingham,
Chicago, Detroit, Nashville, and St. Louis, to name just a few major
locations.
The Fitzgerald subdivision's northern end starts at the busy crew
change point of Manchester, Georgia, which is also where the Lineville
Subdivision from Birmingham and the Manchester Subdivision from
Atlanta both merge into one single track line. The route then heads
south, 220 miles, through several central Georgia towns, including
Oglethorpe, Cordele, and Fitzgerald, to name just a few, before
finally ending at the busy Waycross terminal in South Georgia.
The time period for the Fitzgerald Sub is set in the early 2000s,
which was an extremely busy time for the route with multiple coal
trains still heading to the Florida power plants as well as the usual
freight, intermodal, molting sulfur, phosphate, rock, and autorack
trains. This was also a time period where there was less line
capacity, which always made for a challenging day for the Fitzgerald
Subdivision dispatcher.
