Steam Locomotives

In June, 1952, I arrived at Fort Eustis, VA, for my basic training. Here was a wonderful steam and diesel powered railroad, but steam was the primary power. I stayed until the end of the year when I shipped out to Korea. I returned twice for reserve training in 1956 and 1957.  I want to thank Brian Rumary, who provided additional information from England, and to Steve Holding, who also added information.

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, fountain of eternal life, Your Heart is a glowing furnace of Love.  You are my refuge and my sactuary.
