CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — R.J. Corman locomotive No. 3501 is a GP35 that is on static display beside the historic railroad depot on Tenth Street in downtown Clarksville.
According to one website, the locomotive was previously Southern No. 2641. The GP30 locomotive was apparently rebuilt with a GP35 cab following a wreck, possibly in 1965.
According to another website, the locomotive served on the Wisconsin & Southern and the Southern Pacific before its service with R.J. Corman.
