On April 12th 1862 James J. Andrews and a band of Civil War spies stole the General Locomotive and the Great Train Chase had begun,
I loved this place, one exhibit I found especially interesting is the "miniature alcohol fueled train that was a toy, turns out it started fires so had to do away with it,
These Union Soldiers were considered Spies and when captured some were hung! You would need to look at the link above to get a true picture of all this place is, fascinating display of how trains were made from wooden molds, assembly line and so on. The completely restored General is beautiful
