Florence Railroad


The Florence Railroad was a railroad company that served eastern South Carolina in the late 19th century.
In 1882 the Florence Railroad Company was chartered by the South Carolina General Assembly and authorized to build and operate a line east of Florence, South Carolina, northward to the border with North Carolina. The line from Florence to the state border, about 24.5 miles, was opened in 1888.
In 1898, the Florence Railroad was consolidated with the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, Cheraw and Darlington Railroad, Manchester and Augusta Railroad and Northeastern Railroad to form the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company of South Carolina.
