Allied troops use a jeep as a locomotive on the 37 mile railroad which runs from Mougang
Allied troops use a jeep as a locomotive on the 37 mile railroad which runs from Mougang, Burma, northeast to Myitkinya.
Both of these former Japanese supply bases, now in Allied hands, are close to the Ledo Road and will aid in the completion of a vital supply route to blockaded China.
The jeep railroad is used to haul troops, munitions and construction equipment to posts along the line.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the resourcefulness and ingenuity of Allied troops during World War Two. In the midst of conflict, these soldiers have transformed a humble jeep into a makeshift locomotive on a 37-mile railroad in Mougang, Burma. This strategic railway line stretches northeast to Myitkinya, both former Japanese supply bases now under Allied control. Situated close to the Ledo Road, this vital transportation route will play a crucial role in supplying blockaded China with much-needed provisions. The jeep-turned-locomotive serves as an essential means of transporting troops, munitions, and construction equipment to various posts along the line. Taken in September 1944, this image showcases not only the bravery and resilience of our army but also their engineering prowess. Amidst ongoing repairs and roadbuilding efforts in far-east Asia, military personnel demonstrate their ability to adapt and overcome challenges even amidst war-torn landscapes. This photograph is a testament to the remarkable spirit displayed by soldiers during one of history's darkest periods. It serves as a reminder that even in times of great adversity, human innovation can prevail against all odds. As we reflect upon this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, let us honor those who fought valiantly for freedom and appreciate their unwavering dedication to creating pathways towards peace.
