Laurens Railroad : ウィキペディア英語版 | Laurens Railroad The Laurens Railroad was a 〔(Confederate Railroads - Laurens )〕 gauge shortline railroad that served the South Carolina Upstate region before, during and after the Civil War. The line was started in 1854.〔(Origins of Southern Radicalism: The South Carolina Upcountry, 1800-1860, Lacy K. Ford, page 241 )〕 By 1861, the 32-mile line was carrying 8,500 passengers a day.〔(The Railroads of the Confederacy, Robert C. Black, 1998, page 136 )〕 Among the line's presidents was Henry William Garlington (1811-1893), a planter who signed the South Carolina Ordinance of Secession in 1860.〔(Laurens County, S.C., Delegates to the 1860 Secession Convention )〕 The railroad apparently went out of business sometime after the Civil War.〔(Blue Notes, Laurensville Female College, May 2010 )〕 By 1881 it had been reorganized and was operating as the Laurens Railway. It survived under that named until it was bought by the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens Railroad in 1894.〔(South Carolina Railroads/ Laurens Railroad )〕 ==References==
