The second portion of the Line is more than 100 miles in length, from the CSX interchange at HK Tower in Louisville, through Shelbyville, Frankfort, Lexington to Winchester where it interchanges again with CSX. The Lexington yard office is in downtown Lexington, the NS interchange is just south of the yard.

The Central Kentucky Line runs through the State Capital and hosts numerous previous sites for businesses wanting to be located with access to rail as well as many new industrial development sites with railaccess and interstate access throughout the line.

The Central Kentucky Line runs 25-30 cars every other day from Berea, Kentucky to Logan Aluminum in South Union, Kentucky. These cars carry aluminum ingots made from recycled aluminum cans (over 1 millions cans per ingot!). The Line also provides service to the largest peanut butter plant in the world, Smuckers, transporting over 140,000 tons of peanuts per year.
