The Cost of War

Library of Congress

A devastated Confederate locomotive in the railroad yard in Richmond, Virginia in 1865.

Union troops and a civilian, possibly a northern journalist, pose with the ruined machine. In the distance, just to the right of the locomotive's smokestack, the top of the Confederate capitol building can be seen.
