Railroads to the Rescue

摘要

Railroads serve us well. From America's expansion westward in the mid-1800s to moving troops, supplies, and consumer goods, our Nation has depended upon the rail industry. The June DTJ offers some perspectives starting with Warfighter needs in Afghanistan. Many thanks to all who shared rail resources: the Center for Strategic and International Studies; the Defense Freight Railway Interchange Fleet and the Rail Business Section (SDDC); Duke University Library Archives; US Transportation Museum (Ft. Eustis, VA); and our NDTA Rail Members-Association of American Railroads, BNSF, CSX, Norfolk Southern, Kansas City Southern, and Union Pacific.
