Description
English: Guadalcanal, Bougainville and Tokyo Railroad

... November 3, 1943

Little Railroad with Big Ambition

Although it isn't listed on the New York stock exchange, the G. B. & T. railroad is just as important to an Allied South Pacific here as are its bigger brothers and sisters to the transport world. The track and only train is called the Guadalcanal, Bougainville and Tokyo Express, and its powerful and only engine is called the Admiral- The narrow gauge line haust supplies from the harbor to a supply depot. But its directors have a distnat world capital selected as their final stop.

The parlor car of the G. B. & T. gives the passengers plenty of fresh air and sunlight.
