Virgil Camp Railroad units England ??
Virgil D Kamp born Illinois, enlisted out of Chicago, Illinois. His daughter Debbie writes ... my father was stationed in England. I have his DD214 and it shows the 3615 Q.M. TRK CO. He was employed before the war by CB& Q Railroad out of Chicago, Ill, living and working in the St Louis Area. He had brakeman, conductor, rifle, basic training and Truck Driver Heavy listed on his discharge papers.
Does anyone recognize these locomotives or the location ? Can anyone tell me more about what his unit did ?

I just received some additional paperwork from the records center! Turns out that Virgil Kamp was assigned to the 717th Railway Operating Battalion in England
