Английская Википедия:Asheville and Spartanburg Railroad
The Asheville and Spartanburg Railroad was a Southern United States railroad that served South Carolina and North Carolina in the late 19th century and early 20th century.
The line was chartered as the Spartanburg and Asheville Railroad in 1873[1] and the following year it was consolidated with the Greeneville and French Broad Railroad, a North Carolina line.[2] The Greeneville and French Broad was chartered in 1854[3] to connect Greeneville, Tennessee (near the French Broad River) with destinations in North Carolina, but "anticipated costs and the U.S. Civil War caused this line to be aborted before construction ever started."[4]
The line between Spartanburg, South Carolina, and Hendersonville, North Carolina, opened in 1879.[5] It was sold under foreclosure in 1881 and reorganized under the Asheville and Spartanburg Railroad that same year.[1]
