Jackson Captures Trains

The Baltimore and Ohio continues to operate on the border of the
Confederacy. The Confederates continue to allow the operation
of the railroad. In a little known operation Thomas Jonathan
Jackson captures several locomotives as well as a good deal of
rolling stock of the railroad. The locomotives are removed to
Winchester and Strasburg, Va.
