Chunk of interurban history excavated on Main St.
Interurban train/trolley service on Bluffton's Main Street may seem like a chapter of forgotten Bluffton, but on Monday, August 12, Bluffton Council passed around a hefty chunk of that rail line. This summer, extreme heat buckled a portion of rail that still lies under Main St. Last week, crews excavated and removed the twisted rail and sliced off a hefty piece for display.
