The Edgefield, Trenton and Aiken Railroad was a railroad that served South Carolina immediately after the end of the Reconstruction Era of the United States.
In 1879, the charter of the Edgefield Branch Railroad was amended to change the line's name to the Edgefield, Trenton and Aiken Railroad Company. The Edgefield Branch Railroad was incorporated to build a railroad line between Edgefield Court House, South Carolina, to Trenton, South Carolina, where it could connect with the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad.[1]
The Edgefield, Trenton and Aiken joined with the Atlantic and French Broad Valley Railroad in 1882 to form the French Broad and Atlantic Railway.[2]
