For sixty years the British Army operated a railway dedicated to training soldiers to operate a complete strategic rail supply system. This is the story of that enterprise, originally called the Woolmer Instructional Military Railway, which later became the Longmoor Military Railway. Volume one covers the early developments of the 19th century in regard to military railways in general and then in relation to the British Army, the construction of the line, its growth in the Great War and its subsequent decline through to its rebirth in the 1920s and 30s, ending with the mobilisation of the railway troops in September 1939.
