The General is a type 4-4-0 steam locomotive that was the subject of the Great Locomotive Chase of the American Civil War. The locomotive is preserved at the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History in Kennesaw Georgia and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was arguably the first train ever hijacked.
