Last week’s mystery
Last week’s mystery was a picture from 1979 of the railroad station in Branchville, S.C. What’s interesting about it is how two sets of tracks split with the station in the middle. Hats off to those who correctly identified the image: George Graf of Palmyra, Va., and Mary Bush Bryan of Hampton, S.C. (If there were others, we apologize for not identifying you, but some of our inbound emails over the last week didn’t get to us.)
Graf provided more information based on reading several blogs: “The Southern (Railroad Company) donated this station to the town, and its adjoining dining room were fully restored. In one section of the station, there is a railroad museum and in the back section there is a very good restaurant called “The Eatery at The Depot.” On the set of tracks to the left (former Charleston-Augusta line), there is a Southern caboose that has been left by the railroad. The only track to the right that remains is the one closest to the platform. This is Norfolk Southern’s “S.C. line” between Charleston and Columbia.”
Send us a mystery: If you have a photo that you believe will stump readers, send it along (but make sure to tell us what it is because it may stump us too!) Send to: feedback@statehousereport.com and mark it as a photo submission. Thanks.
We Can Do Better, South Carolina!
