There have been various stories
written about the stealing OF the Bal
timore and Ohio Rail Road engines
at Martinsburg, w. Va, during the
rebellion and their transfer across the
country for service on southern rail-
roads by Col Thomas Sharp, who Is
still living in Ohio. Recently, an Of
fetal of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road made some inquiries OF old en-
ployes who were at Martinsburg at
the time the incident happened and
they say that on June 10, 1861, 200
men of Genl Stonewall Jackson s
command were detailed to destroy the
Baltimore and Ohio's equipment at
Martinsburg They piled wood and
coal over IL engines and nearly 4UO
cars and then set fire to them Only
ten or twelve Of the engines, however.
were seriously damaged, and these not
by the fire, but because the water was
first let out OF the boilers. Col. Sharp
arrived in Martinsburg on August 1S,
1861, and remained there until the fol-
lowing March. engaged in removing
engines, machinery etc. He took
eight engines across the country over
the turnpike. either to Stanton, Win
chester or Strasburg. land there are
some historians who disagree on this
point 80 horses being required to haul
each engine. He also removed all the
duplicate parts of engines and cars
and all the rough iron at the station,
and took away all machinery and
tools which were afterward used in the
Southern arsenals. The country around
Martinsburg is extremely billy and the
work of getting the engines over the
country roads required considerable
engineering ability. 1t has been cur
rently reported in late years that one
of the locomotives was the Winans
camel-back No SO which at that time
was numbered II, but Col. Sharp did
not care for this class of engines and
took only ten wheel and passenger en-
gines. There was only one eight wheel
locomotive taken and that was No. "a.
Some years after the war Col. Sharp
was employed on the Baltimore and
Ohio Rail Road as Master OF Trans
