The aim of this page is to list all the pertinent information on all Carolina shortlines. Most of the information comes from the Edward Lewis/Kalmbach Publishing book American Shortline Railway Guide or the 2000 edition of James W. Kerr's Locomotive Rosters & News (DPA-LTA Enterprises Inc.). Other sources are cited where appropiate. I have done what I can do to insure the accurancy, but I know there must be mistakes here and there, especially considering the Lewis book is now six years old and the Kerr book is two years old. (Note to seflf: get latest version of this book before the next version comes out.)
Any comments by me will appear at the end of the page.
If you see any glaring untruths, or have updated information, please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected].
