old photos of u.s. army trains

| Does anyone know where I can find some pictures of troop transport | trains in the U.S. at that time? Preferably showing some recruits and | soldiers?

Do a Google Image search on "troop train" with no quote marks. You'll get a lot of boy scout photos, and a lot of WWII troop train photos. Keep going, after it seems nothing but boy scouts, there are more WWII photos again.

I received a Schrader's Railroad Catalog a few days ago. It advertises a

3-volume video set called "War Trains," described as "the comprehensive history of railroads during wartime, from the Civil War to the Vietnam War. ..." It's $40 for VHS, $20 for DVD. If you want to check it out, or other books and videos they might have, their website is Bill McC.
