The Atlanta Terminal Subdivision consists of five lines (known as charts on employee timetables) and a number of yards.
[2] The Atlanta Terminal Subdivision is divided up into five separate lines, which are denoted on employee timetables as charts.

In Atlanta, it passes the entrance to Howell Yard before terminating at Chart A in the Blandtown neighborhood.
Chart B was built in 1886 by the Georgia, Carolina and Northern Railway, which became part of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad network by the time it was complete.

Both CSX and Norfolk Southern continue north from East Point to central Atlanta.
