MATTHEW BRADY. Ruins of Railroad at Catlett RR Station

MATTHEW BRADY. Catlett's Station on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad saw much activity during the Civil War and was mentioned in many dispatches. General J.E.B. Stuart raided a Federal supply depot here on August 22, 1862 in the opening phases of the Second Manassas Campaign. In May 1863, Colonel Mosby staged two raids along the rail lines around Catlett. The first was on May 3 at Warrenton Junction to the southwest where the Warrenton Spur connects to the main line. Weeks later on May 29, Mosby returned and destroyed a train to the northeast of the station, and was pursued to the north by Federal cavalry detachments.
