Re: Questions Regarding Post WWI Domestic NG Trench Engine Use

As a kid, I had a postcard of this engine (likely from an uncle in the Army). It was out in the open, it seems now to have been relocated near their WWI museum and placed under a roof. This was one of the engines used for a time to transport troops around the base. (US Army photo)
Article confirms there were several bases with "trench" railroads. - https://www.army.mil/article/47644/forgotten_tiny_trains_carried_wwi_vets_to_victory
