"Time was with most of us, when Christmas Day, encircling all our limited world like a magic ring, left nothing out for us to miss or seek; bound together all our home enjoyments, affections, and hopes; grouped everything and everyone round the Christmas fire, and make the little picture shining in our bright young eyes, complete." ~Charles Dickens~

Didnt the Confederate burn the Rail Depot in Atlanta? Oh wait that was in Gone With the Wind " Fictional but still some truth in it in some places.. To me one of the most parts of the movie is when they show the rail yard with all the wounded and the camera zooms out and the more it zooms the more wounded you see..

Once again thanks for posting theses wonderfull pictures..
