Milk supply hitch delays World War II troop train
Edmund Siemers recalls his 1943 Portland to Denver troop train when milk ran out. Rail officials phoned a dairy in Montpelier Idaho to supply fresh milk, the train waiting until dawn while milking finished and milk was hauled in 10 gallon cans. Soldiers largely refused warm milk due to temperature and habit.
