This cache was placed with permission from the B&O Trail Association. The B&O Railway was one of the first railways in America.

The opening battles of the Civil War are surrouded by the B&O Railway with a massive series of raids conducted by Stonewall Jackson and the Confederate Virginia Militia. By the end of 1861, 23 B&O railroad bridges had been burned, 102 miles (164 km) of telegraph line were cut down, 36.5 miles (58.7 km) of track was torn up or destroyed, 42 locomotives were burned, 14 locomotives were captured and 386 rail cars stolen and destroyed. Through these actions operations on B&O Railroad were completely shut down for ten months.
