Nope. Cashtown’s too small. The smoldering wreck was left at Chambersburg, about 20 miles west of Cashtown.

During the early days of the 1863 Gettysburg Campaign, a Virginia cavalry brigade under Brig. Gen. Albert G. Jenkins occupied the town and burned several warehouses and Cumberland Valley Railroad structures and the bridge at Scotland. From June 2428, 1863, much of the Army of Northern Virginia passed through Chambersburg[40][41] en route to Carlisle and Gettysburg, and Robert E. Lee established his headquarters at a nearby farm.Hardly up to Shermanesque standards.
