New recruits exit a train at the station in Yemassee, S.C., in the 1950's. Depending on when they arrived, the recruits would either spend the night in a barracks in Yemassee or they would be processed and sent directly to Parris Island by way of bus or cattle car. The use of the Yemassee train station ended in June 1965.
