712th TROB and 3rd TMRS- gate and locomotive -- Dewey McLean

 


3rd TMRS Sintanni Line, October 1952. I took this photo of a GM-EMD SW8 Diesel Locomotive #2034 powered supply train operated by the 712th TROB taking supplies to the front lines during the Battle of White Horse Mountain shortly after departing Taekwangni on my return to Seoul. 

I was on the troop train on the siding on the right side of the photo. According to Dave Kaufman, #2034 was the last SW8 on the Army roster. It was retired two years ago from Fort Sill, OK, and is now at the Oklahoma Railway Museum in Oklahoma City. tony2076, Art Reid and Dewey McLean comments on this post
