The Edgemoor and Manetta Railway began in 1903 and ran until 1976. The line extended from Edgemoor, South Carolina, to Lando, South Carolina, about two miles.[1]

The Edgemoor and Manetta is believed to have been the last railroad in the United States to use a steam-powered locomotive in regular service.[2]
