The Fort McCoy rail operations team with the Fort McCoy Logistics Readiness Center along with contractors supporting Union Pacific conducts a rail movement operation for the Army Reserve on May 23, 2023, at Fort McCoy, Wis. This was part of the first rail movement at the installation in 2023 that saw the movement of 569 pieces of equipment and military vehicles — maximizing Fort McCoy’s rail operations capability. Fort McCoy’s rail operations support team is staffed by people operating locomotives to move railcars in place for loading, people working with units and unit Soldiers to get training on how to load railcars, people to assist with moving cargo, and more. Fort McCoy is one of few installations Armywide that operates and supports Army-owned locomotives and conducts rail operations in the level like it does. In 2022, Fort McCoy supported three major rail movements. During those three movements, the Fort McCoy rail operations support team helped load and move 315 pieces of equipment on 116 railcars that was approximately the equivalent of 4,311 short tons of cargo.
