The existing network was struggling to cope with the additional traffic generated and many railroads were already in receivership before the outbreak of war. To deal with this and to ensure efficient operations, the entire system was nationalized for the duration and the USRA set about cutting duplicated services and streamlining operations, in the process ordering the construction of over 100,000 railroad cars and more than 1,900 steam locomotives, all of new, standard USRA designs. However, before many of these locos could be produced the war ended, although deliveries continued into 1919. The USRA was finally wound up by Congress in 1920. |
