History
[edit]The South End Subdivision is made up of various historical railroads. It was originally the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, chartered in 1835, from Rocky Mount, North Carolina to Wilson, North Carolina.[3] From Wilson to Pee Dee, South Carolina, it was built as the Fayetteville Cutoff, which opened gradually from 1886 to 1892.[4] From Pee Dee to Florence, it was part of the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad, which began operation in 1853.[5]
These railroads all eventually became part of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. The Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line merged in 1967, with the merged company becoming CSX by 1986.
