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.

As the pilot of a vessel is tried in the storm; as the wrestler is tried in the ring; the soldier in the battle; and the hero in adversity; so is the Christian tried in temptation.
