The Great Locomotive Chase Episode 2: Chaos, Courage, and a Civil War Gamble

In the second installment on the Great Locomotive Chase, hosts James Ottley and Thornton Kennedy take listeners into one of the most daring operations of the Civil War. James J. Andrews succeeds in stealing a Confederate locomotive, damaging Southern supply lines, and cutting lines of communication. But the relentless Conductor William Fuller pursues him through North Georgia by foot and pushcart. Packed with suspense, historical insight, and the kind of storytelling perfect for your next cocktail conversation, this episode captures the bravery, blunders, and brilliant moments that made the chase legendary — and sealed its place in Civil War lore.
