  • Ask A Gettysburg Guide #120- Civil War Railroads with LBG Rich Kohr (AUDIO ONLY)

    Ask A Gettysburg Guide #120- Civil War Railroads with LBG Rich Kohr (AUDIO ONLY)
    Jan 22 2026
    "Ask A Gettysburg Guide #120 - Civil War Railroads," features Licensed Battlefield Guide Rich Kohr discussing the crucial role of railroads during the American Civil War. Here are the key takeaways from the discussion: Railroads' Crucial Role (6:32): The Civil War was the first major conflict where railroads were essential for supplying armies, moving troops, and transporting equipment on a massive scale.Rapid Expansion Before the War (7:23): In 1840, the U.S. had 3,000 miles of railroad.By 1850, it grew to 9,000 miles.By 1860, it reached 30,000 miles, with a significant disparity between North and South: the North had 21,000 miles, while the South had 9,000 miles. Differences Between Northern and Southern Railroads (8:09): Southern Railroads: Primarily "market railroads" (8:59), designed to transport commodities like cotton, tobacco, and sugar from farms to ports, often with shorter mileage (9:37).Northern Railroads: More focused on connecting cities (9:31) and commerce (11:55), with some relying heavily on passenger business (12:05). Impact on Manpower (12:20): The railroad boom in the 1850s influenced the available manpower for the war. Southern railroads largely used slave labor (12:40), while Northern railroad construction brought in European immigrants, significantly increasing the white male population of military age in the North by 1860 (12:52-13:32).Gauge Issues (14:52): Railroads in 1860 were not standardized in terms of "gauge" (the distance between rails), with about a dozen different gauges in use (15:42). This often meant freight and passengers had to be transferred between different rail lines, as railroads frequently didn't physically connect (21:14-21:41).Southern Reluctance to Modernize (27:59): Despite the recognized need to connect railroads for military purposes, the Confederate legislature debated extensively in 1861, with arguments centering on military necessity (29:11), funding (29:36), and whether connections should be temporary or permanent (30:06). A significant argument against expansion was the belief that the war would be over quickly (31:16).Protection of Railroads (32:59): While initially neglected by figures like Secretary of War Cameron due to personal financial interests (33:11), later in the war, the Union built blockhouses and established a "railroad division" to protect vital lines like the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (33:40-33:51).Compensation and Management (34:04): The U.S. government compensated private railroads for their use by offering higher rates for government shipments (34:49). The North also consistently appointed experienced railroad managers to positions of authority within the War Department, which was a significant advantage (35:09-35:26).Train Speeds (35:34): Wood-burning freight trains typically traveled around 15-20 mph (35:41), while passenger trains could reach 30-40 mph (35:46). Coal-burning locomotives, which were beginning to appear, offered higher speeds and would become more prevalent after the Civil War (36:02).

    Ask A Gettysburg Guide #119- Civil War Myths and Gettysburg Interpretation with Garry Adelman
    Dec 19 2025

    It's the end of the year and you know what that means. It's time for our end-of-year special Ask A Gettysburg Guide with Garry Adelman. This year, Garry is talking about Civil War myths and Gettysburg Interpretation. How do you dispel the myths that many are so desperate to believe are true while giving a tour at Gettysburg (or anywhere else, for that matter). We want to hear from you! What's your favorite myth? What myth do you have trouble letting go of? Is there a "fact" that you've always heard repeated but something about it just doesn't sit right with you making you suspect that it might be a myth? Did you like Mikey B's performance as Bucky Beaver in our commercial? Whatever you want to ask or share, we want to hear it. Call 717-420-1978 to ask Garry directly OR Superchats of $10.00 or more will rise above the din in the comment section and we will read it on the air. As always, these shows are made possible by our Patrons at www.patreon.com/addressinggettysburg AND/OR a tax deductible donation to the Digital History Pioneers Foundation at www.dhpioneers.com Thank you and Happy Holidays! See you in 2026

I really enjoyed this show! Ralph has a great personality and keeps you interested for a full two hours. His knowledge of Civil War artillery is first rate and enlightened my understanding of the artillery branch of service and how it was executed here at Gettysburg at the Peach Orchard. He even has his own theory on where the Devil's Den actually came from!
If you don't know much about the artillery you will certainly benefit from listening to this podcast. And its a great time.. a lot of laughs. General Dan!
