    I grew up right where this happened in Ringgold GA. I've been to the place where it ended many times.

    This is an amazing story that could've ended the civil war. If I was apart of this raid I would've recommended bringing dynamite so we could blow up the bridge instead of slowly burning it

    They did not bother turn the train around, because steam engines are "direct drive"; no transmission.
    They go as fast, in reverse.

      I've actually met the composer a number of times and he was my clinician at All-State one year! Great dude.

      @@unidentifiedflyinghuman586 I understand that when she was burning wood the General could travel 33 miles per cord of firewood I understand her tender could carry three and a half cords of wood at the time of the Andrews raid

    No brakes on these trains to slow down or stop you had to reverse the engine and get the wheels spinning in the direction you wanted to go and wait for the train to slow and beginning going that way.
