Mr. Martin briefly describes how the allies narrow gauge railway tracks were laid, and how numerous shell holes limited the range of the lines.
Transcription
I got overseas, that would be the next thing and I was attached to the Royal Canadian Railway troops. The section of the rail, about 10 feet or so and they were loaded on a flat car, one on top of the other and then you just put them down, section by section, couple of bolts there on each one to tighten, but it was quite a thing because the number of shell holes was so great that it was hard to go very close to the front line.
