With the shots fired at Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, the War Between the States officially began. Railroading would play a key role in the Civil War, providing logistical support and carrying munitions, supplies and troops to each side's respective armies in the field. Lacking the financial power and the more standardized rail system of their Northern counterparts, Southern-held railroads relied heavily on the ingenuity of their railroad men to support the troops. A typical Confederate consist featured an assortment of commandeered railing stock bearing the names of a variety of Southern railroads.
