washington, d.c. weren't through baltimore. i am going to use this google map to illustrate the railroad lines and it works well because the railroad lines of the 1860s followed our interstate highway system and so one line went from philadelphia down through baltimore and to washington d.c. it roughly followed i-95. another line went from harrisburg roughly down i-83 to baltimore and another line came from the west roughly along route 70, and from here the trains would go southward to washington, d.c. so for lincoln it was imperative to keep maryland and keep baltimore in the union. if you're going to get troops to the national capital, then they have to go through baltimore. baltimore had a quirky system. it was illegal to have trains pass through the city attached to locomotives so trains coming in from philadelphia would arrive at president street station, the station here, and it is on the eastern side of the inner harbor. trains coming down from harrisburg would arrive north of this map and then training coming from the w
