Yes - this was possible - and could have been very exciting at the time.  A 
deputy commander of Quantrill's Raiders made a "business" out of raiding the 
NMRR during the war, (name was "Bloody Bill" Anderson), but I don't think he 
was real active until late '62 . . . that road became part of the Wabash, 
then the Norfolk & Western, now Norfolk Southern.
