Charleston Southern Railway

The Charleston Southern Railway was a South Carolina railroad established in the early part of the 20th century.

The Charleston Southern Railway, incorporated by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1915,[1] was to be an extension of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, with an 85-mile route from Charleston, South Carolina, to Savannah, Georgia, planned.[2]

The Charleston Southern merged with the Carolina, Atlantic and Western Railway in September 1915.[3]

Two months later, the Carolina, Atlantic and Western changed its name to the Seaboard Air Line Railroad.[4]
