This fact was spectacularly illustrated by the vast distances that American troops and supplies had to traverse to reach far away stations and combat areas. By the end of the war, the nation’s railroads had doubled the freight traffic and quadrupled the passenger traffic handled by them."---, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo
