I've had several meetings this year in the New Bremen area and have explored a little bit of the RJ Corman line in the area. Unfortunately, I haven't caught any activity on this line. Can anyone give me some info on the customers on this line and when RJC typically operates?

Wiki has good information:

Scott Taipale has very good videos of RJ Corman's St. Mary's line:

I thought they operated M-F but possibly that's only around the Lima area.

Thanks. Looked pretty sporatic from St. Marys south and based on the wiki list, there's no business down there. Its a shame that Crown in New Bremen doesn't use rail service on that line. I wonder how aggressive RJ Corman is at working to recruit new transload or rail business in general for these Western Ohio lines.

Precision Strip and Kard Welding were the last customers on the WORA's Minster Branch, both in Minster. Not sure if Kard still uses rail?
Western Ohio Rail Authority owns the line from St. Marys to Minster. R.J. Corman is just the operator.
