Military Train

[NW Mailing List]

Military trains were common until the Viet Nam conflict. They ended when 
protesters would stop the trains by lying down in front of the trains 
when they stopped. Then they had to wait for police to remove the 
protesters. So they went to using air even though it was far more expensive.
