Kelly, John J.
Abstract
The Richmond & Petersburg Railroad (R&P) was Virginia's most successful antebellum line. In telling the story of the R&P, this paper seeks to understand how a railroad could be successful in the antebellum South, and what that success meant. I argue that the R&P formed part of an extended system of transportation that was designed to benefit Richmond.
