Armies Of The Second Front Will Take Railway With Them -- General view showing the vast amount of rolling stock awaiting assembly. This work will be carried out in record time.The Allies have planned their own railroad system to take with them, for the forthcoming Second Front. The construction of this rail system in England has been one of the greatest secrets of war. The pre-fabricated goods - constituting whole trains, enough to start a rail company - were brought across the Atlantic and reached Britain almost undamaged. Fast-working American railroad men, working twenty-four hours a day, aided by British troops, will have assembled thousands of tons of rolling stock by the time the invasion date arrives.
