S.C. Code § 49-17-1080
At the time agreed upon, the railroad company shall remove its rails, ties, stringers and other such obstructions, if such removal should be necessary, to permit the expeditious execution of the work across its right of way. The work shall be so planned and conducted as to interfere in the least possible manner with the business of the railroad. In case the railroad company refuses and fails to make the aforenamed provision for the execution of the work on its right of way it shall be held as delaying the construction of the improvement and shall be liable to a penalty of twenty-five dollars per day for each day of delay, to be collected by the board of drainage commissioners for the benefit of the drainage district, as in the case of other penalties. Such a penalty may be collected in any court having jurisdiction and shall inure to the benefit of the drainage district.
