At the start of the war there was 1,061 miles of track, but both sides began to destroy track since it helped move supplies and troops. In 1863 it fell to 574 miles and the miles varied during the war. Only in 1866 did the miles go up to 1,404 miles. In 1879 5,006 miles of track was in working order.
