Description

Lancaster and Chester Train 14 is seen here in a dramatic setting passing the former Southern Railway station in Heath Springs, South Carolina. The L&C took over operation of this line from Norfolk Southern in 2001. The town now owns the old depot.

The Heath Springs Depot, constructed by the Southern Railway in 1903, is significant both as an intact example of early twentieth century depots built in South Carolina, and for its association with the transportation of freight and passengers on the Southern Railway in the period 1903-ca.1940. It was the third depot built at Heath Springs, which developed in the 1880s after railroad service was introduced to that section of Lancaster County. Its primary use was in the transportation of cotton, cottonseed and cotton oil products from nearby farms and cotton oil mills, textiles from nearby textile mills, and granite from the nearby quarry. The depot is a one-story frame building on a brick pier foundation, covered with shiplap siding and continuous molding at the window sill height. The crimped metal, hipped roof has slightly flared eaves, with a deep overhang supported by simple stylized brackets and knee braces. Listed in the National Register January 4, 1990.

I really like this picture, especially shot in black and white. I love all the clean lines in this, on the front of the locomotive, and the tracks and on the train depot. Very interesting photo.
