The Chesterfield and Lancaster Railroad was a South Carolina railroad that operated in the late 19th century and first half of the 20th century.
The Chesterfield and Lancaster was chartered by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1887 but construction did not begin until 1900.[Through the Heart of the South, The Seaboard Air Line Railroad Story, Robert Wayne Johnson, page 104]
The 35-mile line extended from Cheraw, South Carolina, to Crowburk, South Carolina.Annual report of the Railroad Commissioner of the State of South Carolina, 1911, page 322
The Seaboard Air Line Railroad acquired control of the Chesterfield and Lancaster in 1913 when it purchased 60 percent of the line's stock. It bought the remainder 10 years later.[Through the Heart of the South, The Seaboard Air Line Railroad Story, Robert Wayne Johnson, page 104]
The line was abandoned in 1941.Abandoned Rails, Chesterfield and Lancaster Railroad
