From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The SB Line is a
railroad line owned and operated by the
Norfolk Southern Railway in the
U.S. state of
South Carolina. It runs from
Kingville northerly via
Camden and
Lancaster to
Rock Hill,
[1] though large parts are abandoned. The only pieces still used by Norfolk Southern are from the
SC Line at Kingville to
Wateree and from the
Catawba River to the
R Line in Rock Hill. The piece between
Kershaw and the Catawba River is now owned by the
Lancaster and Chester Railway.
The short
spur to Wateree serves a
Duke Energy plant.

In 2001, the
Lancaster and Chester Railway leased the line between
Kershaw and the
Catawba River.
[3] It bought the line in 2003.

Service between the
CSX Transportation
Eastover Subdivision at
Foxville and
Hasskamp was discontinued in 2005.
