The Union had about 2/3 or more of the national railroads during the Civil War. Later, that figure was much higher as Union raiders systematically destroyed the rails in the south.

Long-distance shipment of war materials was very difficult. The nothern railroads were nearly all standard gage (4 feet 8.5 inches) so that a train could be routed from one company's tracks to another with relative ease.
