Rolling Stock into Vietnam in 1963-1971

Greetings from Saigon,

Working on a website dedicated to the history of railways in Vietnam and are looking for photographs or descriptions or maybe even cargo lists (just dreaming) for USAID sponsored railway rolling stock that was brought into Vietnam (Saigon port & Cam Ranh port) during 1963-71 on several Seatrain (and other) voyages.

All together about 200 railcars and 48 GE locomotives.

Trying to figure out where were the railcars (narrow gauge) actually made (Japan,as some Army documents suggest ?)

So far found photos:

Railroad locomotives off-loaded at Newport-1970/71


Unloading SeaTrain New Jersey in Cam Ranh Bay, 7-1967
Unloading Seatrain Florida, Saigon port , 8-1967


Earlier non-Seatrain vessels

USNS Card or USNS Core in 1963/64 ?

President Adams - 1965 ?


Would really appreciate your assistance.

And you are of course welcome to explore the biggest ever Indochina/Vietnam collection of railway related photos and infos on
Railways and Tramways of Viet Nam
