Conway Seashore Railroad

Conway Seashore Railroad

The Conway Seashore Railroad was a South Carolina railroad that operated in the early 20th century.

The Conway Seashore Railroad was chartered by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1899.[1] It began operation in 1900 and in 1904 the name of the carrier was changed to the Conway Coast and Western Railroad.[2]

The line, which stretched from Conway, South Carolina, to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, was bought by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad in 1912.
