Photographs of Southern locomotives, cars, track, stations, etc are very hard to find in their Civil War and pre-Civil War configurations. I have located few such photographs and have not succeeded in getting permission to publish any. If anyone can direct me to others, I will gladly attempt to get permission to post them. Go here for the photographs I have (all from the Library of Congress).
 
Artist Jim Jordan has produced a likeness of the Western & Atlantic locomotive General in the 1862 "Great Chase"
 
Artist John Paul Strain has produced the likeness of a generic, late 1850's locomotive at "Charleston Station"
 
Alan Edwards shares this photo of the Mobile & Girard Railroad Seal
 
John Stewart, of Birmingham Rails, provides this 2006 photo of a culvert on the South & North Alabama RR. He has seen many culverts on the original Louisville & Nashville RR and says they are much like this one.
 
This is a scan of an envelope, printed for use by the Confederate Locomotive Shops in Raleigh, but mailed in Columbia, S. C. Since Capt. Thomas R. Sharp was officer in charge of the shops in Raleigh and, when they were closed, went to be the Superintendent of the Charlotte & South Carolina RR, in Columbia, it is likely that he used this envelope in Columbia. The envelope was addressed to the Superintendent of the Ordnance Works in Salisbury, N. C., who was arranging to get a lathe from the Locomotive Shops for his Works (see here and here). A second envelope is here.
