Manchester and Augusta Railroad

The Manchester and Augusta Railroad was chartered in the 1870s, and built a line from Sumter, South Carolina, southwest to Denmark, South Carolina.

The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad was formed on July 16, 1898, by an Act of Assembly of South Carolina.

It absorbed the Manchester and Augusta Railroad, as well as numerous other lines, on the same day.

By 1982 it was merged with Louisville and Nashville, Clinchfield, Georgia, and Atlanta and West Point Railroads to form Seaboard System Railroad and by 1987 was merged into CSX Transportation.

At some point, the segment between Denmark and Cope was abandoned and the southern terminus became a South Carolina Electric & Gas Company power plant.
