  • In this video, we'll take a look at RJ Corman's rail operations in the Clearfield Cluster of north-central Pennsylvania. This group of lines was purchased from Conrail in the mid-1990s and contains a vast network of branch lines serving the coal industry in this part of the state. Today, coal still makes up the majority of rail traffic here, although there is some general freight service as well.
    We will start at Cresson on a February afternoon, where we will chase a short 1-car RJCP01 north from the NS interchange at Cresson to a location near Munster, PA, a few miles north. Next, we will head to Clearfield on another day to see another RJCP01 crew bringing a pair of light engines down to Cresson. We'll follow the set on our way to Mahaffey, where we catch coal shuttle train RBS05 as it comes off the Cherry Tree Sub and heads to Clearfield. We'll follow this train into Clearfield, finishing off with a scene in the pseudo-street running trackage in downtown.

    Corman always keeps his locomotives looking so nice. Is there still as much coal traffic on this line as 9 years ago? Nice to see so much tonnage.

    Awesome, lots of good locations and tight curves out there. I hope to eventually add RJC to my portfolio!

    Have to say it is nice to see the equipment hasn't been redecorated by the graffiti artists. Enjoyed the video.

      The box car was nicely smeared up! People should be arrested for doing that.

    Probably about 2-3 a day on those lines. Since it's almost entirely unit coal train traffic it's not entirely consistent, although some operations such as the shuttle train are more predictable.

    I can see why you chased that 4 engine consist then it is a sweet lash-up no doubt about that.

    R. J. Corman sure is a class act. It's too bad what happened to him. Great video! Who owned these lines before Conrail?

      PRR & NYC. From Cresson to Mahaffey thru Bradley Jntn, & Patton was PRR. Chery tree to Bradley Junction (no RJC line but would be cool if it was opened again; is PRR. Clymer PA to Mahaffey to Clearfield in NYC.

    Great colors on such a gray day. Last unit is a tunnel motor, I wonder where it came from?

      cool stuff Clymer has started reloading trains again as of late 2016 and have been quite busy loading trains so far in 2017. Clymer, Leslie, and 2 other load outs have loaded so far in 2017.
