During the Korean War 95% of men and materiel from South Korean ports to the front lines went by rail. Fighting went back and forth in 1950 - 1951, rail facilities seemed hopelessly destroyed. However, lines were often restored to service in a matter of days and larger projects such as the Han River bridge and Killachon bridge took a matter of weeks. WWII in Europe saw similar experience. The Germans were far more skillful destroying rail lines and mining roadbeds than the communist forces in Korea. Army Field Manual 55 - 22 is the best source on rail operations in theater. <br />http://www.adtdl.army.mil/cgi-bin/atdl.dll/fm/55-20/toc.htm
