This is one of the BIG problems with trying to write.  Inadequate research.
The Civil War ended in April 1865
The alignment charts show the line north from Gladstone (Happy Rock) not built till 1869 (Removed 2-1952)
So this is all Railroad Fiction.  But try and get it corrected is a job and a half as everyone now looks at this as FACT
The Dolly got its name because it was a gas-electric run bringing the mail and express to the small towns off the Main Lines of the Q.
Trying to get History close to fact

While a history of “the Dolly” would be interesting this link ain’t it.
Says the train started in 1868 and then goes on to say it reached its peak in the Civil War.  Also talked about the engineer’s uniform.  
Local historical societies sometimes print dribble.
