American railroads committed all their resources to mobilizing troops during World War II. Passenger car fleets were stretched to the limit, yet more soldiers had to be moved. Pullman-Standard and American Car & Foundry rose to the challenge with special troop cars. In addition to sleepers, Troop Kitchen Cars fitted with a coal-fired range and food preparation area were built to feed soldiers on the move. After the war, most of these unique cars were later sold to the railroads as surplus and were rebuilt as express box cars, maintenance equipment and cabooses.
Walthers Troop Kitchens feature interiors, Allied Full-Cushion Trucks, metal wheelsets, working diaphragms, flush-fitting windows and molded starter points for installing the supplied wire grab irons.
