Charleston, Sumter and Northern Railroad
- Charleston, Sumter and Northern Railroad
-
The Charleston, Sumter and Northern Railroad was a South Carolina railroad that operated at the end of the 19th century.
The line was originally chartered in 1885 by the South Carolina General Assembly as the Eutawville Railroad.[1]
The name was changed to the Charleston, Sumter and Northern Railroad in 1890 and the line from Bennettsville, South Carolina, to Charleston, South Carolina, was completed in 1891.[2]
The line went into receivership in 1892.[3]
The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad bought the Charleston, Sumter and Northern in October 1894,[4] and the following year reorganized the line as the Charleston and Northern Railroad to prevent it from being used by a competitor.[5]
The line was absorbed into the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, apparently in 1895.
