Living History Program: World War II MP

World War II army tanks sit on flat cars covered by tarps in this 1940s photo.
Loads like these tanks on flatcars meant that Military Police were a fixture in many railroad yards during World War II.  Learn about what it was like to guard a railroad yard during the war on this Living History Program.

Tour begins at the red sign "Living History Begins Here" next to the Big Boy locomotive on the North side of the Parking Lot. Included in the Park Entrance Fee.
