The Sievern and Knoxville was incorporated by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1898 as a successor to the Greenwood, Anderson and Western Railway. The latter was placed into receivership in January 1897.[1] The Greenwood, Anderson and Western was sold in December 1897 with the property being conveyed to the Sievern and Knoxville in April 1898.[2]
The line ran from Batesburg, South Carolina, to Sievern, South Carolina, about 17.5 miles.
It was controlled by the Southern Railway after 1899[3] and was abandoned in 1933.[4]
