Military Locos?

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

A usefulbook is 'United States Army Transportation Corps Locomotives, by R.  
Touret.  Many of the blocomotives of the 1940s went overseas, including  to 
Britain, from 1942 onwards. Some some were noted as being built for service  in 
the USA.  and some photos in the book show engines at American locations  in 
Army livery.  There wer over 2100 of the USA?TC S 160 2-8-0s many of  which 
travelled to Europe via the United Kingdom.  I can remember meeting  on neat 
Stratford on Avon in 1942, and being curious how this obviously  foreign engine 
had got here.  There wer other steam and diesel engines no  doubt used in the 
USA on military depots and around them.
