the organization of a corporation
under the name of the South Caro

was granted on December 19, 18:27.
The first construction contrcts were
let on December 28, 1829, and work
actually begun at Line Street, Char-
lestoik on January 9, 1830. Six miles
of trackage were completed in that
year. The road was opened to
Branchville, 62 miles, on November
7, 1832, and to Hamburg, S. C., on
October 1, 1833. At that time this
was the longest continuous railroad
in the world—136 miles.
The timber track substructure un
covered at Warrenville, 12 miles
from Augusta, waa a part of the last
section of the original line to be
comstrugbed and Was built in
summer of 1833. The site at which
these timbers were found is on the
south side of U. . Highway No. 1
and rs 375 feet south of the present
track of the outhem Railway.
ost of the original railroad was
supported on hard pine piles holding
the crossties some distance above
the ground to prevent decay. Each
end of the crosstie rested on the
top of a pile, to which it was se
curely fastened. The crossties were
six and a half feet apart. On the
crossties were laid two heavy tim
bers 5 feet apart, wedged into inlets
in the ties. The thin iron rail, either
flat or with a flange on the bottom
for strength, were spiked along tim
bers running lengthwise of the road.
The T type of rail, which is much
stronger than the flat rail and is
placed directly on the crossties, wag
substituted betwen 1847 and 1852
and the ties were placed closer to
gether.
In the section of track uncovered
at Warrenville it is evident that the
engineer devised a support which he
considered better than piles for the
But this system apparently did not
prove altogether satisfactory and
a solution of corrosive sublimate was
tried. This was known as “Kyaniz-
ing.” having originated with a Mr.
Kyan of England.
Later another method of preserv
ing the timbers was introduced. It
was known as “Eariizing” and was a
process patenett by Dr. Btfaiend
Earle of Philadelphia, formerly of
Savannah, Ga. This process involved
the treatment of the timber with a
solution of sulphate of copper and
iron. So it would seem that the
present-day method of the treatment
of timbers with eresate and other
solutions is an outgrowth of experi
ments starting back in tlte early
part of the nineteenth century, with
the building of the first railroads.

bers 9x6 inches lengthwise of the
track about eight fet apart. Across
these he laid the crossties and fast
ened them to the foundation timbers
by a stout wooden peg at each end.
Resting upon the ties was the 6x10
inch timber along which the iron rail
was laid. To drain off the water
from a spring* near 'this point a
12x14 inch drain box, made of heavy
planks and running a considerable
distance in the midle of the roadbed
was inserted below the crossties.
The semi-annual report of the
South Carolina Canal and Rail Road
Company, dated July 19, 1841, dis
closes that in 1837, about thee-
fourths of the line was taken up to
change the grade and re-built with
green timber. The crossties were
then entirely covered, the rail imbed-
ed in the earth to the top, and the
earth well packed and hammed.
“The track timber waa found gen
erally quite sound, especially the
ties, after four years and four
months of service," according to the
report. “But it will be proper to
state that notie of the untreated
timber shows that perfect, sound
surface, which the Kyanized wood
presented. On the contrary, the
outer surfaces were generally crack
ed as if burnt about half an inch
deep, which was nowhere discovered
on the prepared pieces.”
The "Kyanized” treatment of the
timbers, referred to in the report,
no doubt accounts for the preserva
tion of this old sub-stucture after
lying in the ground for more than a
century. When the road was first
constructed the timbers were treat
ed by an application of a compost of
tar and sand to the exposed surfaces.
