Rail Road in M C

[Ricky B]

I think this question was raised before, maybe use the search function. If I recall correctly, Glenn stated that in general with almost everybody motorized, it appeared neither side planned on using rails to move major formations to the front from their initial deployment areas. Even if it wasn't Glenn - or what he said if anything on the subject - I am not aware of any plans for major rail movement of units and their equipment up to the front - it was to move to where your equipment is and road march to the front and start fighting when ordered. In other words use the roads. Rails saved for moving supplies and specific equipment, maybe some manpower, but not division A as a whole from reserve to Hamburg to fight.

May be wrong, that is my take on it however.
