Not Narrow Gauge...But Interesting
| February 17, 2010 07:23PM |
A couple of the best pictures I've seen of Civil War-era railroading. Most likely by wartime photographer Matthew Brady. For those interested in Civil war history, the archive linked below has about 250 pictures of the conflict, all of very good quality & detail, some quite graphic. I believe the Pennsylvania track was standard gauge, but it almost looks broad ga. in comparison to the diminutive boxcar.
