This is not the NS Blue Ridge Division. This is the Piedmont Division, Washington Sub. The Blue Ridge Division runs from Crewe, Virginia to Roanoke, Virginia.
Years ago, yes. Not in 2024. The Piedmont was split and the northern end became part of the Pocahontas Division which was further merged into the Blue Ridge Division several months ago. Regarding the Crewe-Roanoke route, you're thinking of the Blue Ridge District which is also a part of the Blue Ridge Division. These things don't change very often, but they do change - I reference the FRA GIS system to validate Division, District, and Milepost whenever editing so it was correct at the time of editing!
Amtrak 20 operates on the on the Piedmont Sub Division from Lynchburg to Washington, DC. South of Lynchburg is the Danville Sub. You are referring to the February NS changed the NS Valley from Roanoke to Hagerstown, MD to the Pocahontas Division. I reside on the Blue Ridge District line in Concord, Virginia
NS reworked their Divisions back in 2020, there are 3 Regions, each with two Divisions. Northern (Great Lakes, Keystone), Central (Midwest, Blue Ridge), and Southern (Gulf, Coastal). I don't think I can link here, but if you search for Norfolk Southern's "Public Improvement Projects Manual" you should find a PDF from 2022, which has a current system map on or around page 180. The H line from Hagerstown to Shenandoah is shown as part of the Keystone Division, but with exception to some lines close to the TN border every other line is part of the Blue Ridge division, including the former Piedmont, Virginia, and Pocahontas divisions. Many of the districts are the same as they have long been, but I haven't followed any changes outside of my regular areas to speak with certainty at that level.
