The Charleston and Western Carolina Railroad was formed in 1896 to operate the lines of the former Port Royal and Augusta Railway and the Port Royal and Western Carolina Railway. The PR&A and PR&WC had originally been part of the Central of Georgia Railroad but the South Carolina Legislature had forced the railroad to give up the subsidiary lines. The Atlantic Coast Line took over the C&WC in 1897 but operated it as a subsidiary until 1959 when the ACL fully absorbed it.
