Sheridan set out to destroy the Virginia Central and join Hunter at Charlottesville. Hampton's cavalry reached the railroad first and fought him to a standstill on June 11 and 12. Gregg's division burned Trevilian Station, several cars and about a mile of track before Sheridan withdrew, and the line was soon repaired.
