Additional Description: Since debuting in Columbia during the early 1840s, railroads have played a central role in the development of the city, especially in the Congaree Vista. During its heyday as a commercial and transportation hub, the district operated on the schedules of trains crisscrossing its streets. While redevelopment resulted in tracks being relocated to benefit pedestrians and cars, many structures once used by railway companies such as Southern, Seaboard Coast Line, and South Carolina Railroad remain.
