THE RISE OF RAIL POWER IN WAR AND CONQUEST 1833-1914
Edwin A. Pratt’s classic account of the extent to which railways were used in warfare preceding the outbreak of the Great War, with good detail on how Germany proposed to employ railways to further her aims. This is an invaluable work written by a well-respected transport expert, as a preliminary study to his magnum opus ‘British Railways and the Great War’; This has also been republished by The Naval & Military Press.

Does it mention the use of the railroad to deliver Confederate troops at the Battle of Manassas (Bull Run) in 1861, in a move that arguably turned the tide of that battle in favor of the Confederacy.
