Superb book telling the story of America’s railroads during World War Two, and the services their men gave overseas in the Military Railway Service. The railroads themselves may not have suffered from enemy action, as European railways did,but the increase in traffic was colossal. Mixing archive data and personal recollections, and with 825 illustrations, this really does tell in detail of the contribution of America’s railroads, and railroaders, to the war effort, both in America and overseas. 380 very well produced pages, including a 32 page all colour section. Hardbound and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Heimburger House
