Photograph of a String of Railroad Cars Loaded with Vital War Supplies in England and Delivered in France. The Coast Guard Links British and French Railroads- Out of the massive jaws of a Coast Guard-manned (LST) (landing ship, tanks) rolls a string of railroad cars, loaded with vital war supplies in England and delivered in France. The Coast Guard-manned ship ferries rolling stock from a British port to a French beach railhead, forming a floating link between the railroads of the two countries. Priceless hours, unloading and reloading, are saved by running packed cars into the track-equipped tank deck of the LST and carrying them across the English Channel to roll down a tracked ramp onto French rails. From this point, trainloads of war equipment and supplies move smoothly and swift off the fighting fronts. 1939 - 1967.
