We are at the US Army Transportation Museum in front a locomotive used to operate the Ft. Eustis Military Railroad. The FEMRR was established during WW I when Camp Eustis was created as a Coast Artillery and Observation Balloon training facility. When the 714 th was deactivated in 1972 that ended the active military role in railroad training. FEMRR is now managed by civilian contractors. Ft. Eustis Military Railroad, with its top speed of 25 mph, was often called to the Main Gate and Back line. Its service, nevertheless, has provided the US Army personnel with key training for transporting men, material and supplies during peace and war since 1918.
