*1887 reorganized as the Georgetown & Western Railroad. Chartered in 1882, this railroad was a 5' broad gauge line running thirty-six (36) miles from Georgetown through Andrews to Lanes, South Carolina - a major connector to the Northeastern Railroad. Business did not increase as planned, and the railroad was in receivership in 1885. It was reorganized in 1887 as the Georgetown & Western Railroad. Georgetown was a principal port for the shipment of lumber and naval stores, which also proved to represent the majority of the traffic for this new railroad. However, the business was not enough to sustain the road, and in 1885 the company was in receivership. |
