History
The Greenville, Spartanburg and Anderson Railway Company was formed in 1910 to build a interurban railroad between its namesake cities. The Pelzer-Belton segment was built as part of its mainline from Greenwood to Greenville between 1910-1912. This line became part of the Piedmont and Northern Railway in 1914. The P&N was merged into the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad in 1969. Through a series of mergers, the line eventually became part of CSX.
CSX spun off the Pelzer-Belton segment on October 21, 2006, to Western Carolina Railway Service Corporation, which renamed the line Greenville & Western Railway.
