Oh yes
![]() There are some different tellings about the name of the locomotive seen on the photo, the most recent research however identify it unambiguously, by a lot of details and the time the photo was taken.

^ yep, the 'General'
![]() The locomotive that was hijacked in the Andrews raid, on the photo as a wreck in Atlanta, after Sherman had destroyed the city before his scorched-earth march to the sea. edit: The engine on the photo has been called the "Hero", "Fred Leach" and else, but historians have decided it indeed is the orginal "General" last year. ![]() It was repaired and used for some more years, changed and changed again. The last iteration in the Kennesaw museum has quite a different look than the original outside-frame Rodgers product. Over to Jim ![]()

^ the General at the museum today has not much similarity with as it looked when it was built.. less domes, no frame, another pilot a.s.o.
