The NPB serves Norfolk, Portsmouth and Chesapeake and has been operating since 1896.[1][2] It is a Class III terminal switching railroad, incorporated in the State of Virginia as the Southeastern and Atlantic Railroad Company on March 4, 1896, currently operating over 26 miles of road in the Hampton Roads communities of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Chesapeake. The Belt Line adopted its current corporate name on January 12, 1898 and acquired and absorbed the Elizabeth River Railroad in 1910. The Belt Line was originally formed by eight railroads: Norfolk & Western, Chesapeake & Ohio, Southern Railway Co., New York, Philadelphia & Norfolk, Atlantic & Danville Railway, Atlantic Coast Line, Norfolk Southern Railway (1942–1982), and Seaboard Air Line.[3] The NPBL is owned fifty-seven percent by Norfolk Southern Railway and forty-three percent by CSX Transportation.[4]

Interchanges

The NPBL interchanges with; Chesapeake and Albemarle Railroad, CSX Transportation, and Norfolk Southern. The NPBL is a terminal switching company that owns 36 miles (58 km) of track, (plus 27 miles (43 km) of trackage rights) and links commerce around the deepwater port from Sewells Point to Portsmouth Marine Terminal, including the Southern Branch Elizabeth River.[4] It currently serves 24 industries.[3]

NPBL interchanges rail cars between connecting line haul carriers and various marine terminals and industries located along its tracks. It currently operates one main classification yard located in the South Norfolk area of Chesapeake, Virginia, where its General Office, T&E, and Maintenance of Way facilities are also located.  In addition to its own tracks, the NPBL utilizes certain tracks of its owning railroads through trackage rights agreements.[3]
