About

Railroads have successfully provided logistic support to our armed forces in the two World Wars and the Korean War and in Vietnam. Providing rail transportation in a theater of operations is no simple or easy job, and the success of the transportation railway service (TRS) mission is dependent upon the abilities and understanding of TRS officers and enlisted men. Those who performed the railroading jobs in the theaters mentioned were men trained on civilian railroads as well as those who learned their railroading while in the service. . The basic principles of railroading are almost the same anywhere in the world although special problems are encountered in foreign countries during wartime that are not met in commercial railroading during peacetime.
