The United States Civil War saw the first use of railways for military purposes and tactics that have repeated ever since, supply, destruction of supply, and mounting artillery on rail.
The war was also saw the first attempts of disrupting the enemies supply lines. This tactic was particularly used by the confederate forces who by comparison used the rail lines less than the Union forces. Small parties could easily remove a few rails or burn a few ties crippling a rail line. Much of the southern rail was ripped up to provide iron for armor and other uses.
i made the general (a civil war train that survived the civil war) and im ganna use this moc for a science project...(could trains back then stand more pressure then todays trains?)
I wrote a review awhile ago, but it's no longer up. Am I really that bad? Anyway like I said before, I think it's great. Looks just like the real deal. Also I'm making a list of links to what I consider great Civil War creations on my MOCpages site as a quick reference for others interested in all things related to the Civil War in Lego. May I please use your creation as a link?
