    Not directly a railroad structure, but the produce shed at the intersection of Wappoo Road and Hwy 17 West of the Ashley in Charleston, SC lay along the SAL line and is one of the last of its kind. It I am not mistaken, the Boll Weevil used to stop right about there to pick up and drop off passengers as well. This past week destruction of it began but was quickly halted by a local preservationist. It seems the owner was well with his rights, but that final outcome is still to be decided.


    I would hate to see this shed torn down - of course partially because i grew up just down the road from it. Coincidentally I had take a few quick photos of it a few days before as I drop to work.
