R.J. Corman operations Clarksville, TN Area

Does anyone have any info on this line through Clarksville? I know they service the Zinc plant across the Cumberland River. Are they on a schedule and where are the engines serviced/stored when not running? Visiting family this weekend and would like to get a few photos. Thanks in advance!

Hi, Carl.

I can't say I know a whole lot about that particular operation, but I do know that Guthrie and South Union are good places to look for power. Guthrie is the main shop for the line and not all that far from Clarksville, so that is likely your best bet to find some parked power or something working. I am pretty sure the job that comes to Clarksville is based in Guthrie. Like most shortlines, the majority of the action (if not all) is on weekdays.

Good luck, and I hope you're able to find some trains!

Thanks Mike. Leaving to head there tomorrow so I’ll definitely check out Guthrie since we drive right by it on Rt. 79.

Did you wind up finding anything, Carl? I haven't really tried anything beyond a quick drive by on that operation, so would be interested to hear if you observed any operations.
