SB Line (Norfolk Southern)

The SB Line is a railroad line owned and operated by the Norfolk Southern Railway in the U.S. state of South Carolina. It runs from Kingville northerly via Camden and Lancaster to Rock Hill,[1] though large parts are abandoned. The only pieces still used by Norfolk Southern are from the SC Line at Kingville to Wateree and from the Catawba River to the R Line in Rock Hill. The piece between Kershaw and the Catawba River is now owned by the Lancaster and Chester Railway.

The short spur to Wateree serves a Duke Energy plant.[2]

In 2001, the Lancaster and Chester Railway leased the line between Kershaw and the Catawba River.[3] It bought the line in 2003.[4]

Service between the CSX Transportation Eastover Subdivision at Foxville and Hasskamp was discontinued in 2005.[5]
