Some nice photos of WWII railroad operations that I hadn't seen before. Thanks for posting that! For additional information on the engineers involved in the reconstruction of Cherbourg and the railroads through France, Belgium, and into Germany, check out the first section of Ordinary Heroes: Six Stars in the Window as posted on Scribd: http://www.scribd.com/doc/7964712/Ord... Ordinary Heroes: Six Stars in the Window is the compelling, true story of six brothers serving in World War II. One of the main threads of the story follows one of the brothers who served with the 332nd Engineers in England, landing at Utah Beach (about a week and a half after D-Day), Cherbourg, then through France, Belgium, and into Germany. For more information about the book, including the documentary video and multimedia digital versions, visit www.sixstarsinthewindow.com.
