Winchester &
Potomac |
| The road was chartered in 1830 and
completed in 1836. Its weak construction, its orientation to Union
territory, and its nearness to the Potomac River made the road of little
use to the Confederacy after early 1862.
In early 1861, it supported the Virginia move to capture Harper's
Ferry and removed Confederate supplies when that exposed position was evacuated.
Later, Baltimore
& Ohio RR rail was sold to the company by the Confederate Government
to relay its line.
