{The 7 days of the
month are missing. A July 1862 document says that 1732 bars
were transported in January -- so 272 more were transported
during the missing 7 days. This would account for the entire 4
miles (both tracks) that Capt. Sharp had been ordered to make
available to Genl. Johnston in Strasburg. The bars weighed 350
pounds each, so the rail weighed 44 pounds per yard. This rail
certainly made up the great majority of the Centreville RR.} |
