Posted by portroyalman on Monday, March 30, 2015 9:33 AM

Does anybody know anything about the port royal railroad in south Carolina?. Im modeling this shortline and I only know so much. Does anyone have any more info on it? Like weight restrictions, old home pics, rulebooks? Thanks!

Have you looked at the USC digital database?  Don't know if they have anything or not on the Port Royal, but I have found information on other SC RR's there.  Also I seem to recall either Trains or Railfan did an article on it a few years ago, but not real sure.

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.

The softbound book Charleston & Western Carolina Railway Album by Albert M. Langley, Jr.  (Union Station Publishing, 2000) contains a basic history of the line, photos of Port Royal & Augusta 4-4-0 and 0-6-0 locomotives, as well as a photo of the station in Port Royal.
