The U.S. Military Railroad (USMRR) was established by the United States War Department as a separate agency to operate any rail lines seized by the government during the American Civil War. An Act of Congress of 31 January 1862 authorized President Abraham Lincoln to seize control of the railroads and telegraph for military use in January 1862. In practice, however, the USMRR restricted its authority to Southern rail lines captured in the course of the war. As a separate organization for rail transportation the USMRR is one of the predecessors of the modern United States Army Transportation Corps.

  • L'United States Military Railroad (Chemin de fer militaire des États-Unis) est une agence dépendant du War Department (Département de la Guerre des États-Unis), créée pendant la guerre de Sécession pour gérer le ravitaillement et le transport des armées nordistes en campagne au moyen des chemins de fer. Cette organisation est créée en 1862. Son champ d'action privilégié fut en fait le réseau ferroviaire confédéré après que l'Union eut dès 1862 porté l'essentiel de son effort militaire en territoire ennemi. L'impact déterminant sur le cours de la guerre et l'efficacité reconnue de cette organisation est liée à l'action remarquable du colonel (puis général) Herman Haupt. (fr)
