The Southern Railway – Carolina Division was one of the first railroads chartered in the United States.
After entering receivership in 1889, it was reorganized once again five years later as the South Carolina and Georgia Railroad.
The South Carolina and Georgia Railroad remained separate corporation until May 1902, when it was consolidated with several other lines controlled by Southern.
[2] Southern Railway obtained a 999-year lease of the line in 1902, which is still in effect.
