General Discussion

The army did reactivate a railroad battalion they were based out of Chicago and they trained for several months and were about to be deployed but at the last minute the army changed thier mind and disbanded it an Engineer I work with was in it and showed me pics from chicago when he was training, so there is some truth to the rumors its just they were never actually deployed

There is only one railway battalion remaining in the Army, and it's a reserve unit with headquarters in Milwaukee, WI.  It has two companies directly assigned (1150th and 1152nd) and two that would be gained upon mobilization (1151st and 226th).

Whether or not the unit would actually be mobilized would depend upon a number of factors, such as the existence of an actual mission for the unit that could not be accomplished with personnel already available, the readiness level of the unit itself, etc.
