*1895 in bankruptcy. Had reorganized earlier (not known exactly when) as the Greenwood, Anderson & Western Railroad, but never operated under the new name. The Carolina Midland Railroad acquired the Perry to Blackville line in 1891. The newly-formed Seivern & Knoxville Railroad acquired the Perry to Seivern line in 1898. The Blackville, Alston, and Newberry Railroad was built in 1888 to serve kaolin mines near the North Fork Edisto River. Kaolin, pine forest products, and crops became a mainstay of this line, as well as some industries that located in and around Springfield, South Carolina. At Blackville it connected with the Charleston & Hamburg Railroad, by this time owned by the South Carolina & Georgia Railroad. |
