Korean War, Army Basic Training, Ft. Eustis, 1951-1952
The magnificent Deutche Reichsbhan #19.1001 German V-8 steam locomotive, the only one of its type ever built, was transported from Germany to the United States after World War II, and then turned into scrap metal in 1952. I took this photo in the Ft. Eustis, Virginia, rail yards in 1951-1952. My old Army buddy, Bob Williams, is in the photo. He is still alive and well.
