Huge Train Move to Transport Iowa Militia to Mexican Border
Iowa officials say sixteen trains would be needed to move the Iowa National Guard to the Mexican border. At least thirteen passenger trains of twelve cars each and three freight trains of fifty cars would be required. Governor's adjutant general asserts readiness within 24 hours after a call, but railcar capacity may limit prompt movement. Horses and mules needed total around 1,000 head with varied breakdowns for cavalry artillery infantry and support units. Government purchase could cost about 63,500 for horses at $150 each. remaining animals may be bought in Iowa or en route, affecting railroad needs.
