In the final phases of the battle for Rivington, the Rivington Men retreated to the town's train station. This was a feint as their actual objective was the storage shed across the tracks from the station where their time machine was located. After the last man made for the shed and slammed shut the door, a eerie silence descended. After a few minutes, a young Confederate lieutenant approached the shed. He reached for the door then stopped and fired several rounds through it. It remained quiet so he yanked the door open and was literally blown out of his shoes by the torpedeo. Aside from the shoes only a large bloody smear remained of him. Sgt. Nate Caudell witnessed this and was deafened by the blast but Pvt. Melvin Bean pointed out that the blast was only in one direction, out the door.

Lee indirectly mentioned them when he hoped the Confederacy could use all the weapon concepts the Rivington Men brought with them to counter the United States in a future conflict.
