From the rear cover

Thomas Weber's The Northern Railroads in the Civil War, 1861-1865 was first published by Columbia University Press in 1952. Out of print since the 1970s, it has never been out of demand. It has emerged as the premier account of the impact of the Northern railroads on the American Civil War and the corresponding impact of the war on railroad administration and construction. Not only were the railroads essential to the North's victory, facilitating the movement of troops and materiel, but the war changed the way railroads would be built, run, financed, and organized in the crucial postwar years.
