Lockhart Railroad

The Lockhart Railroad was a shortline railroad that operated in South Carolina in the early 20th century.

The Lockhart Railroad was chartered by the South Carolina General Assembly in October 1899^[1] to operate a line from Lockhart Mills at Lockhart, South Carolina, to a connection with the Southern Railway (U.S.) at Lockhart Junction, South Carolina, approximately 14 miles away.^[2]

The line opened for operation in May 1900.^[3]

Lockhart Mills was shuttered in the 1980s, but the rail line had been abandoned before that. Officially, the Lockhart branch was abandoned by the Southern Railway in the early 1970s.^[4]
