History
The line had been chartered by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1882 under the name of the Bishopville Railroad Company.[1]
Around the time the 19-mile line was opened around 1892, its name was changed to the South and North Carolina Railroad.[2]
The line was sold to the Manchester and Augusta Railroad Company on January 1, 1896, and became part of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad in 1898.[3] It became the Atlantic Coast Line's Bishopville Branch.[4]
