It would be difficult to replicate the job done in WW I or WW II. Passenger equipment no longer exists in sufficient quantities, track no longer goes many places it once did and mainlines are nearly at capacity with the shrinkage of the network. Our heavy industrial capacity is much smaller than it once was and weapons are far more complex requiring a much better trained fighting force. Thus, building and growing the armed services will be more difficult. Also, wars are much shorter now and it is less likely the U.S. would have time to build into the war like we did in both world wars. <br /> <br />LC
