Railway Congestion Strains Returning Veterans Amid War Transport
Rail passenger congestion harms veterans returning home as trains run well beyond normal capacity. Only 6,797 regular Pullman sleeping cars with 172,000 beds could not move all troops through New York. Army estimates show 50,000 more troops arrived in June and 97,000 more in July. Government halted passenger car production in 1942 to free materials for tanks and guns. Railroads carry three times normal loads, serving 913 million passengers last year at an average 1053 miles, on top of current redeployment.
