Supply question

I have a division in Hard, Ky., on the rail line, that is not drawing supply. At least I believe it is not drawing supply. It is in passive mode, all the regions between it and Louisville are controlled by my side (Union). Other units are drawing supply with no difficulty, even though they are not on the rail line, though they are on the river. I have enough rail capacity to push supply during all three impulses. The division does not have a supply unit attached.
Any thoughts?

Methinks it needs a Supply Unit to "attract" Supplies:

Note the second paragraph under "Supply Distribution":
There are a few importants concepts to understand about how supply is distributed to military units: Military Units can only use supply in their region or the region adjacent to them. The supply distribution, where supply points move up to 15 regions per turn, is a distribution and repartition toward structures and supply wagon, BUT NOT military units. Military units are 'terminal', i.e they will consume supplies in wagons and structures, once the distribution is done. They ARE NOT able to call for supply distantly, and supplies points WON'T move up to 15 regions toward them, directly. Supplies points will only move in such way toward structures or supplies wagons (or transports ships).
Corollary: It is possible to have a stack without a supply wagon starve 2 regions away from a huge stockpile.
