The Atlantic Coast Lumber Company built this railroad to Pawley's Island from Haley Landing on the Waccamaw River in 1902 to make the island resort easier to reach. The causeway to the island was badly damaged in a severe storm in 1906 and the Pawley's Island train was discontinued. From the Morgan Photograph Collection.
