It was called the underground railroad because the places in which the slaves hid during the day were called stations, and the helpers who helped the slaves to escape were called conductors.

Who invaded the underground railrode?

The Nazi Gestapo was constantly on the alert for underground resistors. The resistance network ran The Comete Line and another underground railroad to help downed pilots and Jews escape European countries. The Gestapo never let up on searching for the people who were trying to escape the "underground railroad". They did not really "invade" the underground railroad but rather arrested and often imprisoned the evaders/escapees or killed them outright. I have added my favorite, interesting related site for you to read about the underground railroad of World War 2. This site has many related links that might interest you too. This site gave me a ton of information when I was doing research for my book.
