| 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 National Archives). |

Chase" |

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
Confederate stamp ensures that it was mailed during the war. |
