About Corry R.a.i.l.s.

Corry, Pennsylvania earned its fame building Climax locomotives, the geared steam engines that powered logging railroads across the world, and this local nonprofit was set up to bring one home to life. Since 2020 the group has been restoring a Class A Climax at a location near the original locomotive works, giving visitors to this onetime railroad-junction boomtown a front-row seat to working steam preservation in the city where the type was born.

History

Corry owes its existence to the rails: the city grew from the 1861 junction where Atlantic and Great Western tracks crossed the Sunbury and Erie, on land owned by Hiram Cory — whose name the railroad's ticket office took, misspelled, as Corry. Fueled by railroad growth and Edwin Drake's pioneering oil wells in nearby Titusville, the boomtown was chartered as a borough in 1863 and a city in 1866, and became famous in the late-19th and early-20th centuries as the manufacturer of Climax locomotives, the geared steam engines used in logging operations. That legacy drives the preservation scene today: the Corry Area Historical Society displays one of the Climax locomotives at its museum, and since 2020 a 'Class A' Climax has been under restoration near the original locomotive works by a local non-profit organization set up for the project — the Corry Rail & Industrial Legacy Society (R.A.I.L.S.).

The Trains

The group's centerpiece is a 'Class A' Climax steam locomotive — the geared design Corry built for logging railroads — which has been under restoration since 2020 at a location near the original Climax locomotive works in the city.
