Buffalo Union-Carolina

Company History: The BU-C was launched in 1922 to takeover a route between Glenn Springs and Union, South Carolina from the failed Union & Glenn Springs Railroad which had been operating in receivership for the previous 17 years. Traffic was provided by textile mills in Union and Buffalo. Maintenance was a slapdash affair and locals said BU-C stood for Busted Until Christmas. The BU-C closed in 1950 and Southern Railway acquired the segment between Union and Buffalo. Southern abandoned the line in 1971.
