The Clinchfield Railroad (reporting mark CRR) was an operating and holding company for the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio Railway (reporting mark CCO). 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. At the end of 1925 the railroad operated 309 miles of road and 467 miles of track; mileages in 1970 were 312 and 501.

  • The Clinchfield Railroad (reporting mark CRR) was an operating and holding company for the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio Railway (reporting mark CCO). 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). At the end of 1925 the railroad operated 309 miles of road and 467 miles of track; mileages in 1970 were 312 and 501. (en)
  • Le Clinchfield Railroad (sigle AAR: CRR) était une compagnie holding qui exploitait le Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio Railway (sigle AAR: CCO). La ligne circulait entre les bassins houillers de la Virginie et Elkhorn City, Kentucky, vers les industries textiles de la Caroline du Sud. Le tronçon de 56 km entre Dante, Virginie et Elkhorn City, permettant de traverser les réserves de charbon au nord de Sandy Ridge Mountains, fut achevé en 1915. A Elkhorn City une connexion avait lieu avec le Chesapeake and Ohio Railway.Le Clinchfield fut le dernier chemin de fer américain de classe I construit à l'est des Montagnes Rocheuses. Les 428 km de ligne donnaient accès à bon nombre de magnifiques panoramas dans la région des Appalaches, et sa construction nécessita des prouesses techniques, comme les boucles du Clinchfield Loops permettant l'ascension des Blue Ridge Mountains au nord de Marion, Caroline du Nord.Le Clinchfield Railroad commença à exploiter la ligne le 1er décembre 1924, et durant plusieurs années il fut loué conjointement par l'Atlantic Coast Line Railroad et le Louisville and Nashville Railroad. Lorsque le L&N fusionna avec le Seaboard Coast Line Railroad (successeur de l'Atlantic Coast Line) le 1er janvier 1983, pour constituer le Seaboard System Railroad, l'exploitation indépendante du Clinchfield, n'ayant plus de raison d'être, fut intégrée dans le Seaboard. La ligne est actuellement possédée et exploitée par CSX Transportation sous les désignations de Blue Ridge Subdivision (entre Spartanburg et Erwin, Tennessee) et Kingsport Subdivision (entre Erwin et Elkhorn City).

  • La Clinchfield Railroad (CRR) è stata una società ferroviaria statunitense. La linea era compresa fra la Virginia, il Kentucky ed la Carolina del sud; il segmento di 35 miglia che collegava Dante, Virginia, ad Elkhorn City, Kentucky, apriva le terre di carbone a nord delle Sandy Ridge Mountains, formando così un collegamento con la Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, completato nel 1915. La Clinchfield è stata l'ultima ferrovia di I Classe costruita negli Stati Uniti ad est delle Montagne Rocciose. La ferrovia, di 266 miglia, fornì l'accesso a numerose meraviglie paesaggistiche della regione degli Appalachi ed è probabilmente meglio conosciuta per le tecniche d'ingegneria ferroviaria all'avanguardia applicate nella sua costruzione. La Clinchfield Railroad iniziò ad operare il 1º dicembre 1924 e per molti anni fu affittata congiuntamente dalla e dalla Louisville and Nashville Railroad. Quando la Louisville and Nashville Railroad si fuse con l'Atlantic Coast Line Railroad (poi ribattezzata ), in vigore dal 1º gennaio 1983, formando la , la Clinchfield Railroad venne fusa a sua volta nella Seaboard. La linea è ora di proprietà ed è gestita dalla CSX Transportation. Alla fine del 1925, la Clinchfield Railroad gestiva 309 miglia di strada e 467 miglia di binari; le miglia percorse nel 1970 furono di circa 312. (it)
