The Seaboard Railway Depot in McBee, South Carolina in 1914 serving the line between Columbia and Cheraw. The depot served as both a freight and passenger station until it closed in 1971. The nearby depot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
The text of the marker reads:
“SEABOARD AIR LINE RAILWAY DEPOT”
“This depot, built in 1914 was the second station built by the Seaboard Air Line Railway in McBee. The town, the most successful of those established along Seaboard’s Columbia – to – Cheraw Line after it was completed in 1900, grew so quickly that a new depot became a high priority by the end of the decade. This depot was both a passenger and freight depot until it closed in 1971. No the McBee Library and Railroad Museum, it was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1908
