America at war. U.S. soldiers operate railroad in Iran to speed war goods to Russia. A. U.S. Army transportation officer (left) in charge of unloading operations at a Persian Gulf Port, and an American sergeant supervise the lowering of a Diesel locomotive body to wheels which are on railroad tracks. When crating is stripped from the body, the engine is sent to shops where U.S. Army maintenance men put on the finishing touches. The Iranian railroad is operated by the American Army from the Pesian Gulf to Teheran, capital of Iran, to haul vital war supplies bound for the Soviet Union.
