A Army locomotive used as part of rail operations is shown June 2, 2021, at Fort McCoy, Wis.

During World War II, for example, the railroad at Fort McCoy was one of the main forms of transportation for bringing troops in for training and home after the war as well as moving cargo and equipment in and out of the installation.
