The Richmond Terminal Subdivision runs along track that was originally part of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad.

Acca Yard, a major CSX freight yard, is located on the Subdivision. Slow speeds through the yard have frequently caused 20-30 minute delays to Amtrak passenger trains. The completion of a bypass around Acca Yard (plus 8 miles (13 km) of new double track south of Petersburg) in March 2019 allowed a second Northeast Regional round trip to Norfolk to begin. The $132 million project was funded $119 million by the state and $13 million by CSX.[3]
