| Reporting the number of bars of iron
received total amt will be about 2800 bars.
{If the bars were 24 ft long and weighed 50# per
yard, this would be about 560 tons or rail -- about 6 miles of track,
both sides. This would have required about 70 cars to transport to
Richmond, about 5 entire trains. Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac RR} |
