But some serious obstacles had been revealed on our ride from Chattanooga to Marietta the previous evening. 1 The railroad was found to be crowded with trains, and many soldiers were among the passengers. Then the station Big Shanty at which the capture was to be effected had recently been made a Confederate camp. To succeed in our enter prise it would be necessary first to capture the engine in a guarded camp with soldiers standing around as spectators, and then to run it from one to two hundr...ed miles through the enemy s country, and to deceive or overpower all trains that should be met a large con tract for twenty men. Some of our party thought the chances of success so slight, under existing circum stances, that they urged the abandonment of the whole enterprise. But Andrews declared his purpose to succeed or die, offering to each man, however, the privilege of withdrawing from the attempt an offer no one was in the least disposed to accept. Final instructions were then given, and we hurried to the ticket-office in time for the northward-bound mail- train, and purchased tickets for different stations along the line in the direction of Chattanooga.
