I Found a LOST Civil War Locomotive Hidden in the Georgia Forest for 162 Years... and Restored It
In the deep pine forests of northern Georgia — just miles from the
famous Kennesaw Mountain Civil War battlefield — we discovered
something that should not exist.
Half-buried under 162 years of forest floor. Completely consumed
by rust and moss. Two enormous iron drive wheels barely visible
through decades of wild undergrowth.
A Civil War steam locomotive. Untouched since April 12, 1862.
This is the story of the Iron Ridge — a 4-4-0 steam locomotive
that was stolen by 22 Union spies in one of the most daring raids
in American Civil War history. Chased by Confederate soldiers.
Struck by cannon fire. Abandoned deep in the Georgia forest.
And forgotten for 162 years.
