Running through Central Tennessee to Alabama, the highly contested line passed through Confederate-held territory, where rebels and their sympathizers continually sabotaged bridges, trestles and track. Emphasizing the rail lines importance in the Western Theater and brings to light the four key men who kept it open for the duration of the war.
