The Great Locomotive Chase

Everything Everywhere Daily

About
On April 12, 1862, one of the most daring and audacious events of the American Civil War took place. 

It wasn’t a major battle. It didn’t involve armies meeting each other on the field of battle. 

Instead, it was one of the first examples in military history of a raid designed to deny the enemy access to the most vital 19th-century technology: the railroad. 

Learn more about the Great Locomotive Chase and how railroads became a strategic war objective on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
