R.J. Corman to Utilize Intramotev’s TugVolt Railcars in Switching Operations

The agreement adds R. J. Corman, which operates 19 short line railroads in 11 states and serves all major North American railroads, to a growing roster of commercial partners, noted Intramotev, which currently has active TugVolt deployments under way with Carmeuse Americas and Watco. Last month, the company announced that Ray Betler, former CEO of Wabtec, has joined its Board of Directors.

“We strive to be the best service provider to our customers by continuously improving rail operations to be as safe and efficient as possible. Deploying Intramotev’s TugVolt railcars is a direct investment in that commitment,” said Justin Broyles, President and CEO of R. J. Corman Railroad Group, which employs approximately 1,400 people in 24 states. “We’re looking forward to putting their technology to work.”

“R. J. Corman is one of the most respected operators in the rail industry, and we’re honored to work alongside them,” said Tim Luchini, CEO of Intramotev. “When it comes to proving that autonomous rail is ready for commercial deployment, there’s no better validation than a partner who has spent over 50 years moving American industry.”
