The Clinchfield Railroad (CRR) was an operating and holding company for the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio Railway.
The line ran from the coalfields of Virginia and
Elkhorn City, Kentucky, to the textile mills of South Carolina.
The 35-mile segment from Dante, Virginia, to Elkhorn City, opening up the coal lands north
of Sandy Ridge Mountains
and forming a connection with the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway at Elkhorn City, was
completed in 1915.
The Clinchfield was the last Class I railroad built in the U.S. east of the Rocky Mountains.
The 266-mile railroad provided access to numerous
scenic wonders of the Appalachian region and is probably
best known for the state-of-the-art railroad engineering techniques applied in its
construction, as exemplified by
the Clinchfield Loops climbing the Blue Ridge Mountains north of Marion, North Carolina.
The Clinchfield Railroad began operating the line
December 1, 1924, and for many years it was leased jointly by the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and Louisville and Nashville Railroad. When the L&N
merged with the ACL's successor,
the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad, effective January 1, 1983, forming the Seaboard System
Railroad, the separate
operating company was unnecessary and was merged into the Seaboard. The line is now owned
and operated by CSX
Transportation as their Blue Ridge Subdivision (Spartanburg to Erwin, Tennessee) and
Kingsport Subdivision (Erwin to Elkhorn City).
