Troop Trains

Traveling from Lineville to Savannah

"We sat on our luggage to Atlanta, and it took about 18 hours."

“We went to Heflin, Alabama to catch the train to go to Savannah. And when we stepped on the train onto that coach, there wasn’t a seat anywhere, and it was filled with young men in khaki uniforms. It was a troop train. Everything was a troop train. And we sat on our luggage to Atlanta, and it took about 18 hours.”
