To the best of my knowledge there is only one remaining reserve Army rail transportation unit still in existance. These units were originally activated for use overseas. During my active duty days in the Navy I clearly remember seeing operating military railroads at Norfolk Naval Station, Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Charleston Naval Shipyard & Charleston Naval Weapons Station. These were USN locomotives, USN & common carrier freight equipment. These trains were operated by civil service employees. On Oahu, every major military installation had it's own rail system. The Naval Magazine used its system until the early 70's. The only remaining portion of the Oahu Railway and Land Company main line is still in existance due to its military use for ammunition handeling.
