The underground railroad (not a railroad and mostly not underground) was the network that helped slaves escape to the North prior to the Civil War. The term "stations" referred to the individual safe locations (houses, barns, farms) that would feed, clothe, and hide the slaves as they moved step-by-step toward the free states and Canada. The "conductors" were the guides who accompanied groups of slaves, to lead them from one station to the next. In the secret organization, few guides knew more than one or two of the locations, so they could not compromise the entire organization if caught, arrested, or bribed.
