The underground railroad was named for the slaves' method of escape to freedom. "Underground" means the movement was secret and intentionally took place below the awareness of public officials and most members of society. The "railroad" designation took its name from the code for safe houses, which were called "stations" or "depots," and the participating abolitionists, who were called "station masters." In many respects, the underground railroad resembled a real railroad operation in that there were fixed routes, conductors, stations or depots, and a final destination. The underground railroad was the support network for slaves' freedom train.
The Underground Railroad setup passage ways so that slaves can escape captivityThat would be the Underground Railroad. Underground not as in subterranean but as in secret or hidden. And railroad not as with trains and tracks, but as in going from place to place via way stations and stopovers.Underground Railroad

The number of people involved in the Underground Railroad is a subject of some historical debate, but it is believed that over 100,000 slaves escaped via the Railroad, traveling through dozens of "stations" leading to the north. The locations of many stations and the identity of many people involved of the Underground Railroad were never discovered and have been lost to history.

The stations on the Underground Railroad provided hiding places, food, clothing, and supplies for escaping slaves. They also helped to coordinate safe transportation routes and assisted in spreading information to guide slaves to freedom. Without the network of stations and supporters, many slaves would not have been able to successfully escape to freedom.
