Red River |
|
| The correct name for the Alexandria & Cheneyville Railroad. The road was chartered in 1835, construction began in 1836 and stopped in 1841. One source says that in April 1863, Union troops captured the southern end of the road; the Confederacy responded by removing the remaining rails to provide iron plating for gunboats on the Red River. However, Confederate letters as late as March 1864 indicate that the railroad was still operating. | |
