Northwestern Railroad Of South Carolina
The Northwestern Railroad of South Carolina was a South Carolina railroad that traced its history back to the 1880s and survived until the mid-1930s. The line, chartered in 1899 by the South Carolina General Assembly, ran from Northwestern Junction, near Camden, South Carolina, to Wilson's Mill, a distance of a little more than 61 miles, and included branch lines projecting from Manville Junction to Rose Hill, and from Millard Junction to St. Paul. The carrier was controlled jointly by Thomas Wilson, its president, and The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, and is operated as a part of the Atlantic Coast Line's system. The carrier's headquarters and shops were located in Sumter, South Carolina. The Northwestern traced its history back to the Eutawville Railroad, which was chartered by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1884. In 1890, the Eatawville changed its name to the Charleston, Sumter and Northern Railroad. The Charleston and Northern was created after the Atlantic Coas ...

South Carolina General Assembly
The South Carolina General Assembly, also called the South Carolina Legislature, is the state legislature of the U.S. state of South Carolina. The legislature is bicameral and consists of the lower South Carolina House of Representatives and the upper South Carolina Senate. All together, the General Assembly consists of 170 members. The legislature convenes at the State House in Columbia. Prior to the 1964 federal ''Reynolds v. Sims'' decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, each county doubled as a legislative district, with each county electing one senator and at least one representative. Moreover, each county's General Assembly delegation also doubled as its county council, as the state constitution made no provision for local government. The "one man, one vote" provision of ''Reynolds v. Sims'' caused district lines to cross county lines, causing legislators to be on multiple county councils. This led to the passage of the Home Rule Act of 1975, which created county counc ...

The community is located along U.S. Route 521 between Manning and Greeleyville, South Carolina. Wilson formerly had its own post office which operated between 1888 and 1982.

Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad was a United States Class I railroad formed in 1900, though predecessor railroads had used the ACL brand since 1871. In 1967 it merged with long-time rival Seaboard Air Line Railroad to form the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad. Much of the original ACL network has been part of CSX Transportation since 1986. The Atlantic Coast Line served the Southeast, with a concentration of lines in Florida. Numerous named passenger trains were operated by the railroad for Florida-bound tourists, with the Atlantic Coast Line contributing significantly to Florida's economic development in the first half of the 20th century. At the end of 1925, ACL operated 4,924 miles of road, not including its flock of subsidiaries; after some merging, mileage at the end of 1960 was 5,570 not including A&WP, CN&L, East Carolina, Georgia, Rockingham, and V&CS. In 1960, ACL reported 10,623 million net ton-miles of revenue freight and 490 million passenger-miles. History Early hist ...

Railway Companies Established In 1889
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport that transfers passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are incorporated in tracks. In contrast to road transport, where the vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on sleepers (ties) set in ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are also possible, such as "slab track", in which the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The operation is carried out by a railway company, providing transport between train stations or freight customer facilit ...
