Today we tell the story of one of the boldest raids of the Civil War-the Great Locomotive Chase, also known as Andrews' Raid.
We tell of the daring plan to steal a Confederate train, the high-speed chases, and the desperate acts of sabotage that unfolded in this incredible story of espionage and bravery. Join us as we tell the details of James J. Andrews' audacious mission, the relentless pursuit by the conductor of the train they hijacked, and the final outcome of this bit of Civil War history.

Instant click!!! I live in Cassville, Ga and the W&A runs about 1500 yds from my house, and right through my county of Bartow (named Cass during the war). Great video! Thanks a lot for this one! [>
