We publish on this page some engravings of scenes at
Harper's Ferry which illustrate the condition in which the rebels have
left that romantic spot.
|
| Two of our pictures represent THE
DESTRUCTION OF LOCOMOTIVES ON THE BALTIMORE & OHIO RAILROAD. No
less than fifty of the finest locomotives on the road have been
destroyed at Martinsburg and other points. The engine represented in
our picture was brought up from the Maryland side of the Potomac; the
day before the destruction of the bridge it was left standing on the
Winchester road {Winchester & Potomac RR},
and a few days after the retreat a detachment of rebels returned to
the Ferry and ran it off the end of the ruined bridge into the river,
where it now lies in the position depicted in the sketch. |
