| Description: Best known as the scene of the Great
Locomotive Chase, the Western and Atlantic connected Chattanooga and
Atlanta, and in the 1850s and 1860s served both farming country and
flourishing industrial cities. Operated as a key supply route first by
the Confederacy and then by the Northen forces, it combined heavy
traffic with great scenery and fascinating operations. This
clinic reviews the rolling stock, physical plant, and operations of the
Western & Atlantic in the era 1850-1865, and concludes with a
layout design based on the railroad during the Civil War. |
