Great Train Raid
Hear that whistle blowin’
By Sue Golden
Frederick County Report
S
unday, May 29, marks the
anniversary of the feat
accomplished by the Con-
federate Army during the Civil
War, and it will be reenacted in
Strasburg.
During the spring of 1861,
Confederate Colonel Thomas
J. Jackson, soon to be known
as “Stonewall” Jackson, was in
command of the Virginia Vol-
unteers, assigned to Harpers
Ferry.
Since the Northern blockade
of the Southern ports, the Con-
federacy was unable to get ma-
terials and machines for their
railroads. Major General Robert
E. Lee directed Col. Jackson “to
urge the transfer of all machin-
ery and materials” captured
when the Confederates seized
the U. S. Government arsenal at
Harpers Ferry on April 18, 1861,
“and have it prepared in Win-
chester for removal to Stras-
burg, whence it will ordered to
a place of safety.” Locomotives

& 2, Vol. 2, May 23, 1861.

land, 12 miles east of Harpers
Ferry, and Cherry Run, Virginia,
32 miles west of Harpers Ferry,
the tracks of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad run double. The
Railroad was allowed to contin-
ue to run by both the Northern
and Southern Armies - until
May of 1861.

Col. Jackson’s orders.
Col. Jackson waited until the
new train schedule was running
smoothly, before making his
next move.
On May 22, 1861, Col. Jackson
directed Captain John D. Im-
boden to cross the Potomac, to
Point of Rocks, Maryland. The
next day, Capt. Imboden was
to allow all westbound trains
to continue, but was to prevent
all eastbound traffic. Colonel
Kenton Harper, commanding
the Fifth Virginia Infantry at
Martinsburg, was given the op-
posite orders.
At 12 p.m., on May 23, 1861,
Col. Jackson gave the order
to close the tracks. Fifty-six
locomotives, over 300 railroad
cars, and the railroad shops and
equipment at Martinsburg were
confiscated by the Confeder-
ates. To insure the safety of the
trains, the Confederates tore up
the tracks on either side of the
confiscated trains.
Colonel Thomas S. Sharp ar-
rived from the Confederate War
Department in Richmond to

chinery, and to supervise the re- From an 1860s newspaper an illustration of what happened when the Confeder-

approximately $40,000 worth
of machinist tools, all owned
by the B & O Railroad, were
sent to Winchester by rail.
Fourteen Locomotives Hauled
to Strasburg, Valley News Echo,
pages 1 & 2, September 1861.
Once there, the equipment
was hauled by teams of 24 to
32 horses, up the Valley Pike to
Strasburg.
On departing Martinsburg, the
Confederate Army dismantled
and burned the equipment
that was not taken. Thirty-six
miles of railroad tracks were
destroyed, along with bridges,
the engine and machine shops,
and the local hotel. Some of the
railroad cars not taken from
Harpers Ferry were dumped in
the Potomac River.
The Confederate stash suc-
cessfully reached Strasburg in
September 1861. The Valley
Turnpike suffered “deep ruts
and se vere damage” in the
course of the transfer. Id.
The hauling of a locomotive up
the Valley Pike will be recreated
on Sunday. A replica 1861 train
will be drawn by horses from
the Cedar Creek Battlefield
Foundation site in Middletown,
to the Strasburg Museum in
Strasburg. The train will be
accompanied by Confederate
Cavalry.
Research assistance was
provided by Jackie Milborn
and Warren Schwartz.
ABOVE: Eight carloads
of provisions were
dumped into the river
by Confederates. It was
done in order to prevent
any of the rations/sup-
plies being saved or

Middletown still without budget, deadline approaches

By Sue Golden
Frederick County Report
MIDDLETOWN — Town council
met for a committees meeting on
Monday, May 17 and discussed
the lack of a budget of the upcom-
ing fiscal year.
Council and town staff have
spent hundreds of hours going
through the budget line items,
one at a time. A budget has been
presented to council, but was
voted down, along with a pro-
posed cigarette tax increase.
Citizens spoke out against the
$1.8 million proposed budget,

and tax increase taking council
back to square one. Accord-
ing to Mayor Mark Brown, the
town budget has only increased
$10,000 in the last five years.
There are two problems, accord-
ing to the mayor, the cost of the
mandated waste water treatment
plant, and the current economy.
Brown opined that the budget
could be balanced if the cost of
water and sewage was increased
by 50 percent. Currently there are
two options on the table for pos-
sible increases; 30 percent or 50
percent. With Councilmen Mark
Davis and John Blaisdell absent
from the Monday meeting no of-
ficial votes could be recorded.
Town Manager Joan Roche said
the town is not eligible for grants.
Due to being considered an “un-
der charging municipality” the
town does not qualify for grant
monies.
Don Riffey, supervisor of public
works, noted that there are “nu-
merous and significant issues”
going forward with the water
treatment plant. Unfortunately,
the town cannot sue the engineer
that designed the plant for defects
in the building, as it signed away
its rights in the initial contract.
The town is looking into suing for 6, to review and ultimately decide
malfunctioning equipment. on a budget.
Council member Donna G.H.
Gum emphasized that she will
not vote for a water and sewer
tax increase. She enumerated
a number of “not very friendly
cuts” that could be made.
Council member Charles Har-
baugh agreed with Gum on every
issue except one; the elimination Serving Tex-Mex Since 1959

*The Highway Commercial
committee is expecting to go
to the Northern Shenandoah
Regional Commission soon with
their proposed plans, prior to do-
ing a public presentation.
*The Facilities Committee is
looking into getting more elec-
tricity to the Town Park off of
the main line.
*Holes in the soffit of the town
office must be fixed by June 1,
otherwise, due to the bat mating
seasons, the repairs will have to
wait until the mating season is
over. Since there was only one
bid for $2,000 to fix the soffit,
council refused to vote on the
contract.
*Another increase noted for
the town budget was the Line of
Duty Act. The act was enacted
in 1972, by the Virginia State
Legislature. The act requires
insurance to provide for the
families of officers killed in the
line of duty. The state will stop
paying for the insurance this year,
so the town will be mandated to
pay the premium of $1,120. This
amount is expected to increase
in future years.
*Public Works will be closing
the alley behind the Irish Isle,
north to the old Route 11 Potato
Chip Factory, for repairs. The

to develop their own informed
ideas before the forum even began
Tuesday afternoon.
They had already come up with
the idea of a Planned Parenting
center and a program that home-
less, or similarly less fortunate
individuals could enter that would
have them working to better the
community by day, and would
give them a warm place to sleep at
night. The program also included
educational classes and sessions
that could help the homeless be-
gin to assimilate to a non-poverty
lifestyle.
It became apparent that con-
tributing to this cause was more
important to the students than
their actual grade for the assign-
ment; their concern for those less
fortunate was genuine.
One of the recurring messages
from the Frederick County of-
ficials was that homelessness is
almost always the effect of some
seemingly minor disruption in
employment or loss of income that
snowballs until the point where
a family or individual can lose
everything they own.

Zombie attack

The Center for Disease Control
(CDC) launched a new campaign
recently in order to help every-

emergency. Their advice?
Prepare for the zombie apoca-

“Just as in a zombie attack, there

have super human strength, and
move with great stealth, or they
can be slow and intense with an
insatiable urge to devour brains.
No matter what their skillset they
all have one thing in common, in
order to survive, everyone has to
be prepared.
“Families/neighbors can cope
with disaster by preparing in
advance and working together as
team,” Daigle said. “Create a di-

Wagon Train Vacation
Re-creates Pioneer Life
To many, the ideal vacation means
going somewhere without cell phones
or television to mesmerize the kids,
where the environment itself needs no
embellishment or diversion. One of
the most unique family vacations is a
wagon train trip.
The 42nd annual Fort Seward cov-
ered wagon train (June 19-June 25)
starts from Jamestown in North Dako-
ta. The trip includes the adventure of
being on a wagon train in authentic
covered wagons with camping, arts
and crafts, nature lore, chuck wagon
grub, singing and skits around the
campfire. This is very much a family
trip. No alcohol is allowed. Everyone
is expected to pitch in with “kitchen”
duties at the chuck wagon and with
other chores. Send email inquiries to
registrar@covered-wagon-train.com
and get more information at www.
covered-wagon-train.com.
In Jackson Hole, Wyo., you’ll have a
choice between four days on a wagon
train near the Grand Tetons, and a full
week travel package that also includes
a tour of Yellowstone National Park,
whitewater rafting, a cookout, a few
nights in a motel and more. Trips leave
weekly through the summer. For more
information, go to www.tetonwagon-
train.com, or call 1-888-734-6101.
The Oregon Trail Wagon Train starts
from Nebraska and you have your
choice of three-hour tours in a covered
wagon to Chimney Rock, or full day
wagon trips throughout the summer.
There also is a nightly cookout around
a campfire, RV parking, tent camping
and canoe rentals. For more informa-
tion see www.oregontrailwagontrain.
com or call them at 308-586-1850.
Want to go someplace where you’ll
sleep each night in an indoor bed,
rather than move every day in a wag-
on train? How about a dude ranch?
The 9 Quarter Circle Ranch in Mon-
tana, surrounded by national forests,
offers cabins, meals, horses and rid-
ing instruction, fishing, hay rides and
even babysitting for small children
while the adults take morning and
afternoon rides. For experienced rid-
ers, there are one- or two-day camp-
ing trips. You can arrange for pickup
from the airport. Go online to www.
ninequartercircle.com, or call them at
406-995-4276 for more information.
No matter which type of trip you
take, make special note of what you’re
expected to bring and how you will get
there. Look for age restrictions for chil-
dren and any medical considerations.
If in doubt, consult your local travel
agent for suggestions and referrals.
