My grandfather was a brakeman on the C&WC Railroad in the 1920's and ran the route from Port Royal to Yemassee and back twice a day. Before he was married in 1921, he lived at a boarding house in Port Royal that he said served a mound of biscuits at the breakfast table every morning that were the best he'd ever had! During his tenure on the railways, he was caught in two train wrecks. One wreck occurred at night when he and a friend were in the caboose. It was a cold night, and they had a coal fire going in the stove. The train jumped the tracks on a hill and rolled downhill in the dark. Hot coals were flying all about the inside of the caboose as the car rolled end-over-end. His friend was thrown out of the caboose. When the cars came to a stop, my grandfather found his friend in the dark, dead, laying on a flat spot of the hill... having been crushed by the rolling caboose. I still have my grandfather's (and his father's) railroad watch.
