In late 1860, at the manly age of sixteen, Ezra Potts left his Shenandoah Valley family farm near Waynesboro and found work as a fireman on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in western Virginia. By May of 1861, with all of Virginia preparing for war, he was promoted to engineer. His early railroad career lasted until he put his mark on enlistment papers in Bedford County on May 16, 1862.
