The Hamlet Subdivision is a railroad line owned by CSX Transportation in North Carolina and South Carolina. The line runs from Hamlet, North Carolina, to Columbia, South Carolina, for a total of 105.2 miles. At its north end it continues south from the Hamlet Terminal Subdivision and at its south end it continues south as the Columbia Subdivision.[1][2]

The Hamlet Subdivision runs along CSX's S Line. The line notably carries Amtrak's Silver Star which travels from New York to Florida.

History

Шаблон:See also From Columbia north to Camden, the line was built by the Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad as an extension of the South Bound Railroad in the late 1890s.[3]

From Camden to Cheraw, the line was built by the Chesterfield and Kershaw Railroad, which was chartered by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1899.[4]

From Cheraw to Hamlet, the line was built by the Palmetto Railroad, which was completed in 1887.[5]

The Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad, the Chesterfield and Kershaw Railroad, and the Palmetto Railroad all became part of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad in 1900. The unified line became a segment of the Seaboard main line. The Seaboard Air Line designated this segment of the main line as the Hamlet Subdivision, which it is still known as today.[6] Seaboard would eventually become CSX by the 1980s.
