Norfolk Southern serves Wilmington along [[trackage rights]] on Amtrak's Northeast Corridor, the [[Shellpot Secondary]] line heading through the eastern part of Wilmington as a bypass of the Northeast Corridor, and the New Castle Secondary line heading south to [[New Castle, Delaware|New Castle]] and [[Porter, Delaware|Porter]].
