About

Operations in World War II and the Korean War have clearly demonstrated the value of railroads in moving supplies and troops over land with an economy of fuel and manpower. In any future conflict, it can be safely guessed that railway rolling stock would again carry a large number of troops, moving in organized groups, and a large tonnage of military freight. You, as a member of the United States Army, may one day be serving in a rail unit. Whatever your assignment, whether it be in operations or maintenance, you should know your equipment--what it consists of, how it is constructed, and how it functions. Only by being thoroughly familiar with the major components of a piece of rolling stock can you be able to recognize promptly any malfunction and report it for correction.
