Remarks on the back of this photo (above) state that U.S. Army 2-8-0 No. 2628 had been re- cently overhauled by Vulcan Iron Works in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, and equipped with new valve gear. Railroads were vital in moving men and materials during WWI and II and many bases had their own equipment, some of it narrow
gauge.This small Plymouth gaso- line engine (below) is switching cars on the 60cm gauge railroad at Fort Dix in New Jersey. It wasn’t just the armed forces that operated government railway equipment. The Bureau of Reclamation used this 1925 Baldwin 2-8-0 (bottom) on its railroad in Yuma, Arizona.

became apparent that there was enough material to make up a very interesting photo gallery. That, however, will have to wait until another time (if interest war- rants). Still, I thought that I’d share a few random photos that I thought might pique some modeling interest.
