Welcoming Wilmington Engineers After Delayed Train Arrival
A large crowd gathered at Seaboard station to greet Wilmington Engineers returning from the Rio Grande campaign. The timetable kept shifting from midnight to 1 am and beyond, leading to disappointment as the troop train failed to appear. Local groups outline marching formations and banners for a civic welcome along Front Street, with details assigned to Red Cross, Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, and many other organizations.
