An 1830s start of the South Carolina Canal and Railroad culminates in Barnwell’s railpass ban myth, Barnwell’s later regret, and a rivalry between Aiken and Beech Island areas over the line. Governor Hammond and Cant Williams back routes, while upgrades and beech island hills test engineering. The tale frames rail progress, local politics, and community stakes.
