Description
Aiken Railway Company, LLC (AIKR), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Western Carolina Railway Service Corporation, leases and operates 18.90 miles of rail line in Aiken County, South Carolina.
AIKR's 12.45-mile line between Warrenville and Oakwood owes its heritage to South Carolina's first and oldest railroad, the South Carolina Canal and Rail Road Company. The line was chartered by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1827, with the route being completed through Aiken in 1833. The 6.45-mile line extending between Aiken and North Aiken was completed by the Edgefield, Trenton & Aiken Railroad in 1879. The combination of these remnants today allows AIKR to sustain the 180-year record of continuous rail service in Aiken County.
