The General

Item No. 00736 • Suggested price: $295.00
The Civil War’s famous Great Locomotive Chase,
commemorated in a movie of the same name, comes to
life with The General train set! On April 12, 1862, James
J. Andrew and a group of Union raiders commandeered
the South’s American 4-4-0, named The General, from
the Western and Atlantic Railroad. Their daring plan was
to sabotage rebel railroad lines deep behind enemy lines.
An alert W&ARR conductor, William Fuller, noticed the
locomotive moving and with two fellow employees was
soon in hot pursuit through the mountains of Northern
Georgia. They followed The General on foot until they
were able to commandeer another locomotive, “The
Texas,” to continue the chase. After many stops to
uproot track and cut telegraph lines, The General ran out
of wood fuel and water and was abandoned. Andrew’s
Raiders were later captured outside Chattanooga. Some
were able to escape from jail, but eight were hung as
spies. The youngest of the Raiders, 19-year-old Jacob
Parrott, was the first soldier awarded the Medal of Honor
by Secretary of War Stanton. The General train set lets
you experience all the excitement of this historic
adventure and comes complete with:
• 4-4-0 American locomotive with
operating headlight and tender
• old time box car
• old time gondola
• old time combine
• quartermaster and telegraph
