The United States Military Railroad
The thin rails of the Unted States Military Railroad brought men, sustenence, supplies, and ammunition from City Point to Union armies sprawled across 30 miles of war-torn Virginia. You are near the site of Meade Station, one of the road’s major waysides.
Started in June 1864 and dismantled in 1865, the Military Railroad carried as many as fifteen trains loaded with a total of 1,400 tons of supplies each day. As the siege lines stretched westward, engineers extended the railroad until it totalled more than 22 miles of track.
The military railroad also gave the Federals the means to move men quickly to any point of the line. here, Union troops unload at Warren Sation during the Battle of Peeble’s Farm, September 10, 1864.
‘It ran up hill and down dale, and its undulations were so marked that a train moving along it looked in the distance like a fly crawling over a corrugated washboard.”
– Lt. Col. Horace Porter, USA
Many of the stations along the railroad were named after Union generals. From Meade Station, the suplies were hauled by wagon along the Prince George Court House Road to the front, 1.5 miles away.

Before dawn on March 25, 1865, more than 10,000 Confederates massed in and around Colquitt's Salient, ready to attack Fort Stedman. General Lee hoped the attack would force the Federals to draw in their lines, allowing part of his army to escape from Petersburg and join with Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's army in North Carolina.
At 4 a.m. a lone rifle shot signaled the opening of the assault, and the Confederates stormed across no-man's land. The Confederates advanced in three columns, each led by axemen and a storming party of 100 men. As you walk to Fort Stedman, you will be following in the footsteps of the Confederate attackers.
The Confederate attack plan: once in Fort Stedman, one column would push along the Union entrenchments to the right, expanding the breach. Another would move to
