The Centipede

During THE WINTER WAR command simulation, the Federals moved some units by rail (although they did not use the railroad extensively during the campaign). During the last days of the campaign, the railroad was used in response to a raid by Ashby's Cavalry.

The 110th Pennsylvania had been parceled out on guard duty along the railroad, with commissary trains, and at Burlington throughout the campaign. (It never fought with it's brigade: Tyler's Brigade). When Ashby took Springfield, as many companies of the 110th were collected by rail and moved to Green Spring Depot to mount a defense if necessary and then advance to Donaldson.

The engine used to move units supplies during the campaign was the Centipede. The Centipede was used on the B&O during the way, and was modified in 1864. The original and modified versions appear below.
