Once again the patrons of the narrow gauge railway traveling from Manassas Junction to Harpers Ferry were besieged by the blue and gray.The day dawned with the Federal Troops ( all 3 of them!) commandeering the train to transport payroll and important dispatches. Once the train was underway along the Potomac River (Why were there so many sea gulls?) the Rebel forces attacked.
There were many ladies of secession aboard cheering for the attackers. One even going with a Rebel!
Brave Union ladies attempted to defend the train, one even pulling a gun on the Secesh.
Despite all attempts, the gold and papers were stolen....
