Summary[edit]

Description Lot-3762-5: U.S. Railroads Engage in All-Out War Effort. American railroad men work on the firebox and boiler of a big transcontinental U.S. locomotive in a western U.S. repair shop. Every piece of available equipment has been rushed into war service by U.S. railroads which employ more than 1,200,000 highly trained men and women. Locomotive boilers like this one frequently haul trains a mile and half long on 2,000 mile trips over America’s western plains and deserts. Office of War Information Photograph.
