Thanks for making the video available. As a little girl, I remember being held up at railroad crossings for trains. Supply trains were especially exciting to watch with tanks, trucks, half-tracks and artillery. But there were no passenger cars for the troops. I don't know where they went. This was in Southern California, the end of the line prior to shipping out for the Pacific. Also, I don't know if it's still active or not but five or six miles north of where I live and off Interstate 10 is where the largest Quartermaster Depot for the whole western U.S. is located. It was easily visible from the freeway until several acres of old vineyards were sold to make way for acres and acres of new truck terminals.
