Cedar Rapids Subdivision, a 45-mile (72 km) stub that starts at Genoa and runs west and then northwest towards Spalding.

This subdivision effectively ends at Belgrade; the remaining 23 miles (37 km) is out of service due to marginal traffic.

Train M-CBNC (Council Bluffs-Nebraska Central) runs across this subdivision daily except Sundays with scrap metal for Nucor Corporation, ethanol for Louis Dreyfus and other businesses in Norfolk.

Stromsburg Subdivision is a 63-mile (101 km) branch line that starts at Central City and runs east to Brainard.

The line connected to the Union Pacific's Lincoln Subdivision in Valparaiso prior to the NCRC takeover in 1993.

Union Pacific Locomotives are seen on a regular basis across the Nebraska Central, as they are used for Unit Train movements and the Norfolk Local per run through agreement.
