| 释义 |
The Berkeley Railroad was a South Carolina railroad that served the Charleston area beginning in the late 19th century. The Berkeley Railroad was chartered by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1892.[1] The Berkeley Railroad ran from Chicora, South Carolina, to Moncks Corner, South Carolina, and connected with the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad at Moncks Corner.[2] The Berkeley Railroad was built by A.S. Emerson, an early real estate developer who wanted to promote a development he called "New England City", in Berkeley County. Emerson built a railroad from Moncks Corner to New England City, which later became known as Chicora.[3] New England City didn't make it financially and was sold at auction in July 1906 to a local lumber company. It's likely the tracks and ties were then probably taken up.[3] References1. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=zLA4AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA129 Acts of the General Assembly of South Carolina, 1892, page 129] {{DEFAULTSORT:Berkeley Railroad}}{{US-rail-transport-stub}}{{SouthCarolina-transport-stub}}2. ^[https://archive.org/stream/genealogyoflakef00adam/genealogyoflakef00adam_djvu.txt/ A Genealogy of the Lake Family of Great Egg Harbor, Arthur Adams and Sarah A.
