This unit left Fort Eustis, Virginia on 3 August 1950, From this point on is a concise current histor’ of the battalion, CURRENT HISTORY OF 765TH TRANSPORTATTON RAILWAY SHOP BATTALION IN KOREA ‘The 765th Transportation Railway Shop Battalion, consisting of eight (8) Officers and eleven (11) Enlisted Men departed Fort Eustis, Virginia enroute to Korea on 3 August 1950 and arriving in Yokohama, Japan on 26 August 1950, andimnediately transhipping to Korea. On 30 August 1980 ‘the organization debarked at Pusan, Korea, the threshold of the grin struggle for the survival of the democratic way of life. Although a "Shop Battalion", due to the shortage of railway operating personnel and the congested condition of the rail lines, this organization, which by the end of Sgrtember 1950 had grovm to twelve (12) Officers and ninety-five (95) Enlisted Men, was scattered the length of the railroad,operating forward Rail Transportation Offices. During this period the few personnel left in the rear area struggled to set up and put into operation a backshop in which to repair the motive power ani rolling stock that was S0 vitally needed to supply theconbat troops with ammunitions, food, and other supplies. Rail equipment was being badly hit, and a decision vas reached to evacuate the worst of the heavy repairs to Japan and to obtain new or rebuilt equipment as rep3acements until such time as satisfactory ‘aison could be set up with the Korean facilities and sufficient personnel obtained for the battalion to swing into production in Pusan. By mid-October 1959, onehundred and thirty (130) cars, twenty-three (23) locomotives, five ($) steam cranes, ani sixty-one (61) hospital cars had been received, inspected, tested, and rushed into service. By the end of the month, forty (0) locomotives had been processed and outshipped to dJapane October 1950 saw the first production go through the Pusan Backshop der Amy Control. With little over a normal company strength, and in spite of the language barrier, inadequate supplies, and inferior equipment, the battalion outshipped seventeen (17) locomotives, nine (9) of them heavy re= pairs, and three hundred and forty-five (345) passenger anf freight cars, ‘In November 1950, with a total strength of twenty-one (21) Officers, and one Hundred and forty-six (146) Enlisted Men, of which fifteen (15) Officers and ninetyanine (99) Enlisted Men were abailable for shop work, ‘the remainder being assigned to operating forward Rail Transportation Offices, the battalion was given the added responsiblility of operating round-howses at Yengdongpo, Taejon, and Taegu, and of initiating a hospital train maintenance section at Hanhung. In spite of the wide disapproval of Officers and Enlisted.Men, the backshop repaired ninteen (19) locomotives, twenty three (23) passenger cars, and four hundred and seventy-three (73) freight cars during the month. In Deconber éf 1950 and January of 1951, the increased activity on the front and the retrograde movement of the United lations Forces, threw a great responsibility upon the battalion. Rail equipment suffered heavy cas= Ultiess The demand for rolling stock and power incressed daily, and the greatest impediment of all, of the four hundred (00) replacements received in recent months, one hundred and eighty-ceven (187) were lost to the Infantry as replacements and two (2) Officers and one hundred and fifteen (115) Enlisted Men transferred to Japan to set up an advanced detatchment in connection with the withdrawal plang The remaining personnel, through sheer determination and the indomitable will to keep the railroad operating, outshipped thirty- nine=(39) Loconotives and six hundred and forty-six (61) cars. Ih recog= nition of its outstanding record during this crucial period the organization yas awarded the Meritorious Unit Comandations In the months that followed, as the United Nations Amy stemned the enrushing tide of the aggressor forees, and began the long, ardous push to the north, the supply Lines continued to lengthen and greater md greater demands were nade upon thebattalion to furnish the equipment necessary to keep our advance moving. To mest this demand, stress was laid on con= ewrent technical training of army persomel, many of whom were reprofiled combat soldiers and virtually untrained in railway repair fields; better Lisison was established with the Korean National Railway Officials anifacalitess production Line methods were introduceu and the Korean pat dently induesd to adopt them. ‘As mid 1951 approached, and sufficient equipment hecane available to meet the demand, the policy of "get it in--get it fixed—get it rolling” was gradaily changed to the "better the repair the longer she'll roll" and quality of wrimanship began to take precedence over quanity of prow duction, It also became possible to utilise men and time to better the Living conditions of the personnel and to install recreation facilitions ‘Mme was available to properly repair and maintain the shop machinery and machine tools, which for the most part consisted of a conglomeration of Russian, English, and Japanese makes. Tt was quite impossible to requi~ sition replacement parts for this machinery. Broken and worn out, parts were caréfully removed, patterns painstakingly made, and parts cast in the Foundry, and then machined inour shops. The facilities such as the Foun~ dry, sa mill, and machine shops, coupled with the ingenuity of the personnel of the organization made the 765th Transportation Railway Shop Battalion practically a self-sustaining unit. During the critical period of early 1951 and the subsequent "Poace Conference 1ul1, production increassed to an extent that was mequalled in the history af the railroad in Korea. From January 1951 to June 1952, the Pusan Backshop outshopped over four hundred (100) locomotives seven hundred (700) passanger cars, and over ten thousand (10,000) freight cars; received and shipped thirty-three (33) locomotives to Japan for rebuilding; received from Japan, processed and placed into service ninety-four (9l:) locomotives and one thousand one hundred and thirty-one (1,131) items of rolling stocke In addition the various roundhouses and riptracks under the jurisdiction of the organization logged over seventy-five thousand (75,000) repairs to railroad equipment.
