About this title

Synopsis

Classic study of the railroads during the American Civil War, the first war to use them extensively. Covers railroad and non-railroad structures, US military railroads and locomotives, Northern and Southern locomotives, the Baltimore & Ohio's locomotives, passenger and freight cars, armored cars, military supply bases and camps, ordnance, and the facilities in Alexandria, VA and Atlanta, GA. The book not only provides vintage black and white photos and drawings of the railroads but also shows how to recreate the locomotives, rolling stock and scenery for your model railroad. This is an invaluable reference book for the Civil War fan, railroad historian, and railroad modeler.
