As a career mechanical engineer in the rail industry, the Civil War's stories relating to the railroads, North and South have always interested me.
Rather than post a favorite story of my own about the railroads, I am going to throw this thread open to any member who wants to post a favorite railroad story about the Civil War - stories like The Great Locomotive Chase; transferring Longstreet's corps to Tennessee by rail; Haupt's bridge of "bean poles and cornstalks."
Any story you want as long as it is strictly on the subject of railroads in the Civil War.
