The Atlantic and French Broad Valley Railroad was a railroad that served South Carolina in the period immediately following the Reconstruction Era of the United States.
Creation
[edit]The Atlantic and French Broad Valley was created in 1878 by an act that changed the name of the Belton, Williamston and Easley Railroad. The Belton, Williamston and Easley was a railroad intended to serve the South Carolina Upstate region, specifically to connect Belton, South Carolina, and Easley, South Carolina.[1] No such line was ever actually constructed.
Consolidation
[edit]The Atlantic and French Broad River was consolidated with the Edgefield, Trenton and Aiken Railroad in 1882 to form the French Broad and Atlantic Railway.[2]
