During the Civil War, railroads dramatically changed the way war was waged forever. But even more significantly for America, President Abraham Lincoln set the course for railroads to place the nation on the path to greatness as a world power. This program discusses how America's railroads were responsible for changes in military tactics, innovations to the railroad industry, and the building of the first transcontinental railroad.
