Fort McCoy: Dynamic Rail Movement for the Infantry Brigade

Members of the Fort McCoy rail operations team move railcars July 8, 2024, for a rail movement for the Wisconsin National Guard’s 32nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team that involved more than 800 pieces of equipment and vehicles at Fort McCoy, Wis. Fort McCoy is one of a small number of Army installations where Army locomotives are present. For the many decades of Fort McCoy’s existence, the capability to transport cargo and equipment to and from the installation by rail has always been there. During World War II, for example, the railroad at Fort McCoy was one of the main forms of transportation for bringing troops in for training and home after the war as well as moving cargo and equipment in and out of the installation
