The company operated a former [[Norfolk Southern Railway (1942–82)|Norfolk Southern]] line between [[Star, North Carolina|Star]] and [[Aberdeen, North Carolina]]. The company was founded in 1983, began operating in 1984, and was sold in 1987.

== History ==
The Aberdeen and Briar Patch owned a {{convert|34.46|mi|adj=on}} line between Star and Aberdeen in North Carolina. This line began as a [[Forest railway|logging railroad]] in the 1880s, eventually passing to the Norfolk Southern in 1916. In 1983 the Norfolk Southern, then doing business as the [[Carolina and Northwestern Railway]], decided to abandon the line. The Aberdeen and Briar Patch was incorporated on August 1, 1983, and acquired the line. It began operating in 1984.<ref>{{Harvnb|Lewis|1986|p=8}}</ref> The [[Aberdeen, Carolina and Western Railway]] acquired the assets of the company on June 19, 1987.<ref>{{Harvnb|Lewis|1991|p=9}}</ref>
