CCT Rail System Corporation is a US shortline railroad holding company that owns and operates the Rogue Valley Terminal Railroad Corporation.
The company was founded in Superior, Wisconsin. In June 2014, the company relocated its offices to White City, Oregon in order to be closer to the rail operations of Rogue Valley Terminal Railroad
History
The company was founded on November 20, 2012, as RVTR Rail Holdings LLC for the purpose of acquiring the WCTU Railway LLC (WCTR) from Marmon Transportation Services LLC, a unit of Berkshire Hathaway.{{cite web |url=http://www.CCTRailSystem.com/ |title=CCT Rail System Corporation |accessdate=January 19, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181201000901/http://www.cctrailsystem.com/ |archive-date=December 1, 2018 |url-status=dead }} CCT successfully acquired WCTR on December 17, 2012.{{cite news |url=http://www.mailtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20121220/NEWS07/212200345 |title=Wisconsin engineer buys White City railroad |first=Greg |last=Stiles |newspaper= Mail Tribune

To effectively re-organize and re-brand the company as a platform for acquiring and operating other North American shortline railroads in the future, the company was renamed the CCT Rail System Corporation on March 15, 2013. The company's then-sole subsidiary, WCTR, was also renamed Rogue Valley Terminal Railroad Corporation (RVT) on the same date, in order to better market the broader Southern Oregon region served by the railroad.
In March 2019, the company launched Safe Route Railcar Services Corporation, a private railcar storage, maintenance and cleaning firm, which later ceased operations in January 2022. In November 2022, the company launched Rogue Reload Corporation, its first truck-to-rail transload service.
