About

Operating a military railroad in a theater of operations requires the combined efforts of many people with various skills. Men are needed to run trains and repair railway equipment; others must maintain the right-of-way and the communications system. Before the railroad begins to operate, however, there is the tremendous task of planning the entire rail operation. One of the many things a planner must know about is what equipment is available to move military tonnages and who will maintain it to keep supplies and ammunition rolling to the front. That is the purpose of this subcourse; to introduce you to the kinds of equipment found in a military railroad and the characteristics of the knockdown fleet belonging to the Army. This is a one-lesson subcourse, including lesson exercises, lesson solutions, and an examination. One credit hour is allowed for the entire subcourse.
