| This branch off the Southern Railway main line between Columbia and Spartanburg was constructed when a textile mill was built on the Broad River. A small hydro-electric power plant was built along the river to serve the textile mill, and the town of Lockhart sprang to life. The textile mill was shut down in the late 1980s, however, rail service ended long before that. The Lockhart Branch was officially abandoned by the Southern Railway in the early 1970s. | |||||
