Hamlet Subdivision

[1][2] The Hamlet Subdivision runs along CSX's S Line.

The line notably carries Amtrak's Silver Star which travels from New York to Florida.

From Columbia north to Camden, the line was built by the Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad as an extension of the South Bound Railroad in the late 1890s.

[3] From Camden to Cheraw, the line was built by the Chesterfield and Kershaw Railroad, which was chartered by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1899.

[4] From Cheraw to Hamlet, the line was built by the Palmetto Railroad, which was completed in 1887.
