csxns,
Not sure of the details. For an intermodal shipment they just need to have a terminal in the metro area to unload.
The BNSF Intermodal Map shows both NS and CSX getting to the Charlotte Metro Area.
It is all conjecture but if they were to extend their intermodal network to the Charlotte Metro Area, the most logical option would be to extend their successful agreement with CSX to Atlanta.

csxns kgbw49 Charlotte, NC in the south. Will the trains come to Monroe NC and take a turn and run to Charlotte or come into Bostic NC and take a turn and run to Charlotte?NS has the better route going into Charlotte but CSX tried to build a new Intermodal yard but was shot down it was going to be somewhere around the state line.

Monroe - Atlanta is ex-SouRR now NS, not CSX.

CSX may serve Monroe, but the main line to Atlanta through nearbly Lynchburg, and on through Greenville and Charlotte definitely belongs to Norfolk Southern. I rode the Crescent, the Piedmont Limited, more than once.
But maybe I can learn that there was also an ACL or Seabord or whatever line or combination that became a CSX line between Monroe and Atlanta? But that is an addition to the NS line used by Amtrak.
Two Monroes. One in VA on the NS, one in NC near Charlotte on the CSX.

Yes. I guess Dave drifted over to the Virginia Monroe. The drifting thread was about alternatives to Chicago for E-W interchange or through routing.
In the days of passenger service Washington-Chattanooga and points south and west of Chattanooga, Monroe, Virginia, was the point at which N&W and Southern crews and engines changed. I have the impression that this became the change point when the trains through Roanoke began using the Kemper Street station instead of the Union Satation in Lynchburg.
You may remember that it was in Monroe that a new Southern engine crew boarded for the run to Spencer (just above Salisbury, N.C.)
Now, back to Monroe in the Old North State.
Apologies. Did not know about Monroe, NC.
