Inthe early 1900s, the South & Western, a predecessor of theClinchfield Railroad, advanced its lines toward Spartanburg, SouthCarolina.

The South & Western requestedpermission from Southern to construct a crossing but was refused.They then took Southern to court.Permission was given by thecourt for the South & Western to tunnel under the Southern, andwork soon began. Before tunneling, however, supports were placedunder the Southern’s tracks, thereby allowing the Southern’s trafficto continue unhindered. This crossing at Marion is known today asClinchcross.
