Huffnagle was a stop [2] on the Reading Company's New Hope Branch that served the small community of Hood, Pennsylvania. The station was named in reference to the nearby Huffnagle Mansion. It was renamed twice during its existence, first to Rosenthal (occasionally spelled Rosen Thal) after artist Albert Rosenthal (who had purchased the mansion), in 1927, and then to Hood in the 1940s, after a family of the name took up residence in the aforementioned Huffnagle Mansion.[ citation needed ]

The station itself was located at Sugan Road at milepost 36, approximately 1 mile south of New Hope. No trace of this station exists aside from a small flat spot next to Sugan Road Crossing.

The Battle of Atlanta took place during the Atlanta Campaign of the American Civil War on July 22, 1864, just southeast of Atlanta, Georgia. Continuing their summer campaign to seize the important rail and supply hub of Atlanta, Union forces commanded by William Tecumseh Sherman overwhelmed and defeated Confederate forces defending the city under John Bell Hood. Union Major General James B. McPherson was killed during the battle, the second-highest-ranking Union officer killed in action during the war. Despite the implication of finality in its name, the battle occurred midway through the Atlanta campaign, and the city did not fall until September 2, 1864, after a Union siege and various attempts to seize railroads and supply lines leading to Atlanta. After taking the city, Sherman's troops headed south-southeastward toward Milledgeville, the state capital, and on to Savannah with the March to the Sea.

The Metropolitan District Railway, also known as the District Railway, was a passenger railway that served London, England, from 1868 to 1933. Established in 1864 to complete an "inner circle" of lines connecting railway termini in London, the first part of the line opened using gas-lit wooden carriages hauled by steam locomotives. The Metropolitan Railway operated all services until the District Railway introduced its own trains in 1871. The railway was soon extended westwards through Earl's Court to Fulham, Richmond, Ealing and Hounslow. After completing the inner circle and reaching Whitechapel in 1884, it was extended to Upminster in Essex in 1902.
