South Carolina

This road was made by consolidating several smaller lines and adding new branches. Its first component, the Charleston & Hamburg, was one of the first half-dozen railroads in the United States and was built to increase the traffic of Charleston Harbor. The finished road was one of the longest in the South. It was, among other things, the link between Charleston and Augusta -- two major cities of the Confederacy's war effort.
