The Underground Railroad was not an actual railroad, but a series of "safe houses" that escaped slaves would travel along the way to the North or Canada. Houses that were part of the underground railroad were often marked by a quilt or lanterns, that only railroad guides, or "conductors", would know.

I know there was a movie that appeared on the Disney channel in the late 80's about the underground railroad. It was very accurate and graphic...which is why I imagine it is difficult to find now. Disney would not want that controversy.
Yes in fact neighbors and other non salves were a big part of transportation. With out them the railroad wouldn't have worked.
The Underground Railroad was a series of free blacks and Northerners who were against slavery that would guide slaves up to the North to Freedom. It wasn't an actual railroad, but at times it went underground to hide slaves. It was coined "Underground Railroad" so slave masters wouldn't know what it really was, and it was almost like a railroad. The main people who came directly to the slaves and guided them along the "Railroad" were coined "conductors". One very famous conductor is Harriet Tubman, also nicknamed "Black Moses".
