Charlie,
Was briefly assigned to Atlanta Army Depot in late '68, early '69.
There were at least three full Army hospital trains stored there.
Was told they had actually been moved to Florida during the Cuban
Missile Crisis.
While I'm sure that there were internal changes only a small part of
the equipment was in a uniform paint scheme. Lots of Pullman Green,
PRR Burgundy, and NYC Gray.
