Back on Highway 41, near the end of the Great Locomotive Chase

The Highway 41 end-to-end Streetview trek continues - now headed north of Dalton, toward the locations of the final stages of the Great Locomotive Chase in the Civil War.  And we are also getting closer to Tennessee!

But the trek is not there yet.


I-75 again!



Mill Creek Gap, by the Johns Mountain Wildlife Management Area



Near the Tunnel Hill tunnel.  Having gone through Dalton, one potential place that the raiders could have damaged and caused serious problems to the rail line was the Tunnel Hill tunnel.  But they didn't have time, because their pursuers were right behind them.



You guessed it - I-75



By South Chickamauga Creek, south of Ringgold



The railroad tracks near Ringgold




Ringgold Depot



Downtown Ringgold.   The Great Locomotive Chase passed through Ringgold and ended north of the town, when the General ran out of fuel. The raiders were captured, some of them escaped, some of them were executed as spies.


Onward and northward!
