Comments on: Railroad's Critical Role in the Civil War http://www.historynet.com/railroads-critical-role-in-the-civil-war.htm From the World's Largest History Magazine Publisher Fri, 24 May 2013 21:00:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Ian Schwenke http://www.historynet.com/railroads-critical-role-in-the-civil-war.htm#comment-829958 Ian Schwenke Mon, 31 Dec 2012 21:21:00 +0000 #comment-829958 Thanks for the great article. I enjoyed much new information about the firepower that could be stored on these trains. However i feel as if there is a huge section that could be added about Medical and Recourse transport, and so on. Excellent description of the armor and relation to the Merrimack, but i feel the article is narrow sighted to only a certain aspect of Railroads use during the Civil War.

Koenig Tue, 22 May 2012 00:15:45 +0000 #comment-803144 Zoo Zoo, Sorry to hear my article wasn't of use to you. Unfortunately, the title really does not fit the content, and yes, I've asked someone on the site to change it to something that reflects tactical roles of rolling stock and motive power. I suspect you may have been searching for an article on RR's logistical role, and plenty has been published on that in Civil War periodicals, but I'm not sure how many made it to the net. You may wish to consult Tucker's "Victory Rode the Rails," a quite "readable" book that draws from various scholarly sources to describe how railroads influenced military operations from start to finish. Hope this helps, Alan R. Koenig Zoo Zoo,
