In looking through the Kalmbach Burlington Route book we have been discussing, one of the photos is an O-5 leading a troop train from Chicago passing the articulated 2nd TCZ bound for Chicago - in Minneapolis. Since the book was copyrighted in 1947, this photo has to be sometime between 1944 (there are the Pullman-Standard troop sleepers) and early 1947. I've often wondered about the frequency of the Q hauling troop trains in WWII and the Korean War. It seems like there would be better routes than the Q for troop trains, though I suppose that the Q/GN or Q/NP route would be fine for the Washington state camps. Any comments on the Q and troop trains?
