To my understanding, this is the rail bed for the Old SC Railroad. It is the oldest rail bed in the United States. The Best Friend of Charleston passed through on it's way from Charleston, SC to Hamburg, SC. Hamburg is now part of North Augusta.

I just found this. thanks for posting it. I lived in that big ole white house in the early 70's and have lived away from there for all of that time since. It made me feel pretty good to see it still there. lots of wonderful memories of summerville.
