I did see a few nifty shots in the Transportation Corps books in the US Army WW2 "Green Book" series -- one had a couple dozen jeeps stacked & cross-lashed across a flat car -- and there was quite some discussion on the difficulties of getting everyone to stop wasting space on very limited rail assets. Long Toms are exactly the load in mind !!! (As well as the 8in Howitzer) Are the photos you mention available ??? Bob: Thanks for the NMRA search tip !! I will check it out.
