Interpretive Marker along Ft. Walker Drive, | Additional Description: The Charleston and Savannah Railroad, today
part of the Seaboard Coast Line System, (today, CSX)
was built in 1853 by General Thomas Fenwick
Drayton. General Drayton in 1838 married Emma
Pope, heiress of Fish Hall Plantation, located
approximately one mile across the marsh
northwest of this point. The C&S Railroad
remained an important Confederate rail link
until early 1865 despite many Union attempts
to sever it.
