Rebuilding the Clinchfield Railroad

If you’ve not seen any of the 32 episodes of “Rebuilding the Clinchfield Railroad” on Youtube, you are
missing a fascinating series of half to one hour videos. Multiple CSX, RJ Corman, and other crews are
scattered throughout the Nolichucki River gorge between between Poplar, NC, and Erwin, TN,
orchestrating people and machines to rebuild the curvy former Clinchfield line torn asunder by hurricane
Helene in September of 2024. There is no narration, but the creator has chosen good music to
accompany the massive undertaking, and provides limited on-screen text when needed. Go to
YouTube.com and search “Rebuilding the Clinchfield”. These are screen shots from the series.
