troop trains
Soldier railway convoys
Troop trains are trains used to transport military personnel, typically in large numbers during wartime or for deployment.
The term evokes images of soldiers heading off to war or returning home: The troop trains carried thousands of young men to the coast.
During both World Wars, troop trains moved vast numbers of soldiers across continents.
