I'm curious about the train engine that pulled the cars, was it steam? Was it a civilian train, or a military one? Did it have armor?,(reply>), Nice info. <br>I understand some locomotives had been reinforced during the American Civil War,(reply>), That depended on whose tracks they were running.  If going to and from Warm Springs, Georgia, then a Southern Railway steam locomotive would pull it.  If going to and from New York then a Pennsylvania RR loco -  an electric GG1, to be exact - would pull it.  If going from New York to his home in Hyde Park then a New York Central steam locomotive would pull it.<br><br>But the US had no armored locomotives.
