Trains and WWII Planes on D-Day - June 6, 2014

"A special thank you to all the D'Day veterans."

Well said, Walter.

Hi Walter, did you know my dad. he told the same story

My dad said the same thing.  Not gonna post the pic out of respect for my mom.  I believe it's a guy thing.

O-Gauge Railroading....??  More trains please!!

Thanks,

Alan

My son and I go every year!  Had playoff games last night and today so we're headed over early tomorrow morning to get there by 8:00 am.  Always a great time!

Nice to see you yesterday, Walter.  Lehighline was there also along with several others whose forum names escape me. 

I've been a member of that museum for 25 years and it amazes me how many museum members are into trains, including the president who has an extensive collection of S gauge.  Even had someone come up to me after hearing my voice and said he recognized my voice from the tv commercials for the First Frost and Spring Thaw train meets. 

Based on the title, I thought I was going to see some WII era trains used in the war.

JDA...There are photos of a US warplane that shot up German trains on D-Day.

Thanks.

Walter

A couple my father brought home from the war in Europe shown in another thread. They were uploaded in a different thread so there is not an option to click for a larger image. Right click and select open image in new tab and they will be full sized.

A better title would have been WWII planes on D-Day.

Here's a train story from the Korean War.  Went to Yokohama by ship.  Packed us in a narrow gauge Japanese train to Iwakuni(sp).  Jammed us in a C-119 with full battle gear to Teagu and didn't even close the doors.  I love the WWII heroes.  Had kin that landed in Normandy on D-day.
