Railway Operating Battalions trained at Camp Shelby WWII
Tom writes... I'm involved with the
historic Wilmington and Western RR here in Delaware. One of our locomotives,
former Mississippi Central RR No. 98, was used at Camp Shelby during WWII to
train soldiers for various railway units. I've attached a photo of No. 98 and a
document I created that details the railway training at Camp Shelby during WWII
Thanks
