Godfrey Lumber Railroad
This railroad originally ran through the middle of Cheraw State Park.  The folks at the State Park have often called the old bridge abutment at the head of Lake Eureka the "old number 1 bridge" but never mentioned the railroad.  I've drawn some maps below that show the route of the railroad.

Click on the map on the left (below) first to establish your bearings.

The second map shows the origin of the rail as a spur of the SCL originating just on the Cheraw side of where the SCL crosses Thompson Creek.  It then follows Cash Rd. and bisects the State Park.  Here's where it gets interesting.....the RR crosses the head of Lake Eureka and continues to Campbell Lake, etc.  This is musing to me because I have been told since I moved to Cheraw (29 years ago, this year) by State Park folks that the crossing at the head of the lake was the "old highway #1" that was later moved to its present location when it became the Jefferson Davis highway and was improved.  The earthworks and rockwork are still present at the head of the lake and I always thought what was there was too narrow to be a road designed for cars.  I believe they are wrong, or maybe US #1 did follow the route AFTER the railroad was abandoned, or else I am very confused....What do you think?
