The Eddy Lake and Northern Railroad was a railroad in South Carolina that operated in the early part of the 20th century. ==History== The Eddy Lake and Northern Railroad was chartered by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1905. 〔(Reports and resolutions of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, Volume 4, 1910, page 281 )〕 The railroad was built by the Eddy Lake Cypress Company into Gunters Island, to harvest lumber.〔(Timber and Turpentine Industries, Horry County Historical Society )〕 The line was to be 35 miles in length, stretching from Eddy Lake in Horry County to Marion, South Carolina.〔(New Railroad in Horry, ''The Horry Herald'', November 9, 1905 )〕 According to the ''Railway Age Gazette'', by 1907 the company had completed 15 miles of track from Eddy Lake to Browns Swamp, South Carolina, and had awarded contracts to build another 20 miles on to Marion.〔(''Railway Age Gazette'', 1907 )〕 In 1915, the company filed for a 10-year extension so as to have time to complete the line.〔(Railway Age Gazette, Volume 59, 1915, page 301 )〕 It's unclear if the line to Marion was ever completed or when the line was abandoneded. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eddy Lake and Northern Railroad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
