Very, very cool – lot of misconceptions about the Great War but as time went on, logistics and supply became increasingly sophisticated and the trench railways are a perfect example of the level of innovation to big, complicated problems. The ability to move troops and equipment into the rearward trenches quickly and the wounded out was incredibly important. Starts to get really interesting when you look at the inter-war years with the sophistication of the Maginot Line, miles of underground tunnels connecting different barracks and fortifications, munitions dumps, canteens – all underground, and in a surprising number of them, being serviced by narrow gauge rail. God I love trains… hahaha
