Did you know that there is a “Chinese Wall” in Fairfield County? Actually, it has nothing to do with China but that is what the volunteers at the South Carolina Railroad Museum call a massive manmade granite structure beside the railroad track two miles west of Rion, S.C.

The velocipede was specially adapted for use by road masters, bridge inspectors, telegraph line repairers, and crosstie inspectors. While it was normally used by one man, on occasion the back seat could be used for a passenger.

The Radar Bomb Scoring train was used by the United States Air Force to track simulated bomb runs by B-52 and B-58 bombers. The train was located adjacent to the Rockton & Rion tracks on a siding at the summit of the railroad from October 1966 until March 1967 (according to an article I found in The News and Herald, October 6, 1966).
