The North had a railroad net of 34 022 kilometers, (without that of the Border States

of 3 020 Kilometers).

The South had a railroad net of 14 041 Kilometers.

The Northern railroads were better fit and organized for the war purposes because of their general (with few exceptions) standard gauge, whilst those of the South had many sections built with narrow gauge, which required several transfers to carry out the transportation, with consequent delays and possible damages.
