The Charleston and Northern was created after the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad bought the Charleston, Sumter and Northern Railroad in October 1894,[1] and the following year reorganized it under the Charleston and Northern Railroad to prevent it from being used by a competitor.
[citation needed] The line was originally chartered in 1885 by the South Carolina General Assembly as the Eutawville Railroad.
[2] Its name was changed to the Charleston, Sumter and Northern in 1890 and went into receivership in 1892.
[3] The Charleston and Northern was absorbed into the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, apparently in 1895.
