Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers build the first Army railroad on Oahu in 1907 to use for construction of Fort Kamehameha. Seven batteries were built between 1907 and 1920, and the 'temporary' railroad not only remained but was expanded to become a permanent one in 1920 with the establishment of the 41st Coast Artillery (Railway). The Oahu Railway & Land Company (OR&L) provide most rail service to the Army, beginning with Fort Shafter in 1905 and Schofield Barracks in 1909. Government tracks were built at Schofield Barracks by the Army between 1922 and 1933, including an independent 60-centimeter 'trench' railroad system. Two highly specialized railroads were built at Forts Weaver and Barrette to serve the 16-inch gun batteries. With the advent of World War II, the Army short on equipment, continued to depend heavily on the OR&L. The OR&L abandoned its main line in December 1947, and the Army's railroads were also soon removed." -- From cover
Book Synopsis Oahu's Narrow-Gauge Navy Rail by : Jeff Livingston
Download or read book Oahu's Narrow-Gauge Navy Rail written by Jeff Livingston and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: US Navy rail operations on Oahu began in 1908 with construction railroads used to help build the shipyard. Expansion of Pearl Harbor to include the submarine base and the naval magazine on Kuahua Island required a permanent railroad, which was begun in 1911. This construction provided industrial employment to hundreds of local men in the existing agricultural economy, and the influx of additional manpower from the mainland contributed to an increasingly skilled and diverse population. World War II brought about a dramatic increase in Navy railroad operations in support of the war effort. Success in the Pacific theater of operations depended on the Navy's railroads, equipment, and the Oahu Railway & Land Company (OR&L), which connected all the bases. The OR&L abandoned its main line in December 1947. By the mid-1950s, railroad operations at Pearl Harbor also ceased. Rail operations continued at and between Naval Magazine Lualualei and Ammunition Depot West Loch through the Korean Conflict and Vietnam era, ending in 1972.

Book Synopsis New England Railroaders in World War I by : Robert Fuller
Download or read book New England Railroaders in World War I written by Robert Fuller and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mobilized in 1917 by New England railroads, this all-volunteer regiment served the victorious Allied armies on the Western Front in World War I by moving men and materials over narrow gauge railroads. The 14th Engineers helped the American army fulfill its plans to end the costly war in 1918.But the experiences of the 14th were only a small part of a ninety year history of the Boston and Maine, Maine Central and other New England railroads. Maps, illustrations, photographs and extensive appendices help support railroad history spanning the 1880s to the 1970s. The book is packed with human interest stories, ranging from presidents to clerks.An expansive bibliography offers further reading. The careers of several 14th veterans are interwoven against a fifty year backdrop of railroad events. One of the men became a railroad vice president, while another was probably the last 14th survivor. Local history features parts of New England and especially southern Maine.Over 50 years of New England Railroad history are seen through the eyes of a handful of World War I veterans who served together in one regiment.
