The process by which the migration of an axon growth cone of a pyramidal cell that is part of the corticospinal tract is directed after decussation through the spinal cord in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. Generation of a long process of a pyramidal cell, that carries efferent (outgoing) action potentials from the cell body in cerebral cortex layer V towards target cells in the gray matter of the spinal cord. This axonal process is a member of those that make up the corticospinal tract. The process by which the migration of an axon growth cone is directed to a specific target site in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. The process by which the migration of an axon growth cone of a neuron that is part of the corticospinal tract is directed from the cerebral cortex layer V to the spinal cord dorsal funiculus in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. The directed, self-propelled movement of a cellular component without the involvement of an external agent such as a transporter or a pore. Generation of a long process of a neuron, that carries efferent (outgoing) action potentials from the cell body towards target cells.
