CSX Transportation's Peninsula Subdivision road local L217 has long been one of the more interesting trains to observe on this stretch of line. Running from the large flat classification yard in Richmond known as "Acca Yard" to the medium sized Newport News timed freight yard, this train has remained relatively consistent since PSR was implemented during the E. Hunter Harrison years. Today, L217 no longer runs daily as it did three years ago but it can still consistently be seen three or four times a week running east of Richmond, usually around midnight. L217 allows local businesses the ability to conduct logistical operations economically as well as environmentally and is instrumental in the continual growth of industry on the Peninsula.
