With the recent rail diasters in this country, Iran, and North Korea/China it make me think about our busy rail system during World War II. During this time our railroads carried more passengers and more freight than the previous years. Now I am sure there were some accidents but I can't remember reading about any right now. Our railroaders and equipment were overworked during this time. Many railroads needed new equipment but with war needs the railroads had to make do with old equipment that was worn out. The railroads did a splendid job in doing what they did and with so little to do it. We have all heard much praise for the railroads during this time frame and they all deserve every bit of praise offered. What I was wondering is . . . (during the war years) what accidents might have happened, where they happened, why they happened and any other info that our forum readers might offer? <br /> <br />
