@ Jan-Eddie og Peter Matros: Tak for disse filmlinks, der på hver sin måde er ganske illustrative for WW1 militærbanerne.

Hyppigst forekommende i den første film var U.S. Army's Baldwin 2-6-2T. I Frankrig var denne type nok Baldwin's mest anvendte:

Australian War Memorial - ID number H01947.
"A Baldwin 4-6-0T of Class 10-12-D Engine, which were the most common steam locomotives used by WDLR and saw service on all but the Italian and Dardanelles fronts. Because of the heavy demands on the Baldwin Locomotive Company in England some of the locomotives were manufactured by their American company in Philadelphia. France 1917."

Og den anden film drejede sig om restaureringen af en 40 hk Simplex som denne:

Australian War Memorial - ID number P03608.015. Ca. 1917-18.
"A diesel or petrol powered Simplex, 40 horse power armoured locomotive tractor with the serial number LR2275, which was manufactured by The Motor Rail & Tramcar Company, Limited in Bedford England. This batch of 115 locomotives were provided with an armour plated body allowing usage in areas exposed to enemy fire. 20 of these locomotives were allocated to the Australian light railway operating companies. Note that the engine access doors have been opened to show the engine and the back of the operators seat is visible inside."
