Back from a run to Croghan, the crew of the Walterboro turn is met by a non-operating type as they near the mainline. If I remember correctly, this train ran W'boro to Bennett Yard (N Charleston) and back every day except Sunday. Typically, three days a week the south bound leg included a side trip down the branch to Croghan, just across the Ashley River from downtown Charleston. The branch and the small agri-business in the photo are long gone, and an overpass replaced the at-grade highway crossing in about 1981.
