Remarks & Notes

When completed in 1833, the 136-mile Charleston & Hamburg was the longest railroad in the world. By 1977 most activity on the Charleston end had shifted away from these tracks in the downtown area to the main yard in North Charleston or dockside facilities. A few years later, the line between Branchville and Hamburg would be abandoned. On the 'happy' side, the Charleston-Columbia line has far more traffic today than in 1977.
