So excited to speak to the Bethune Womens Club in late March about Old Molly. Been a while since visiting this project again.
I am in the process of putting together all the videos and images, so far, in a video that will talk about the CM&C Railroad and the 4 main stops along the track.

John Weber is now writing the narrative part for the film and Bob Smith of Jefferson will be doing the narration.

Photos from Old Molly: A Railroad History in South Carolina's post 12/09/2017

A quick history of the railroad. I saved the pdf files as images so I could upload easier here on FB.

Looking back thru all my files tonight. Wow. So far we have gathered about 105 GB’s of pictures, documents, and the videos we’ve made so far. Have found a few more pictures of the old Angelus Cotton Gin and I am going to remake the Angelus video I made recently. Keep an eye out for that real soon. Here is the original petition filed by the railroad to form the Charlotte, Monroe, Columbia Railroad in the Cheraw Chronicle on Nov. 2, 1900.
