The Ware Shoals Railroad was a single train connecting the town of Ware Shoals, South Carolina, to the main lines of the Piedmont and Northwest railroad system at Shoals Junction, South Carolina. The train carried goods to and from the textile mill located in Ware Shoals, South Carolina, but its main use was the transportation of coal.

The train ceased to function in the late 1970's.
