This is a collection of sources on the railroads in Richmond during the Civil War.

Five lines terminated in Richmond:

  • Richmond and Petersburg Railroad
  • Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad
  • Richmond and York River Railroad
  • Richmond and Danville Railroad
  • Virginia Central Railroad.

None of these lines connected in the city.  The city worked on a railroad through the city at various times during the war.
