The Confederate capital of Richmond was able to remain supplied with most of what it needed throughout most of the US Civil War. This was due in part by the five railroad lines that ran from Petersburg to Richmond.
Petersburg, situated on the River Appomattox, was about 30 kilometers, as the crow flies, southward from Richmond and was an important strategic road and railroad center.
