Original caption

Locomotives, tank cars, and other necessary units of railroad transportation are stored up in large quantities in the British Isles ready for shipment to Europe once the invasion has begun, The two main tracks are kept open in this view, but note how densely packed with locomotives are the eight side tracks. These are large type 280s, kept under constant guard and ready for shipment and use on the European continent. British Isles, March 15, 1944.
