Two different types of medical transportation are a train car and a two-wheeled
ambulance.
Train Car
A train car that was converted from passenger operation to carry wounded
soldiers to a large general hospital in a large city. It could carry
thirty-three wounded soldiers. Alternate seats were removed and replaced
with wooden slats. The less wounded were hung from strechers suspended
from above by rubber loops.
Two-wheeled ambulance
During the war, some type of vehicle was needed to transport soldiers from
the battle field to the nearest medical facility. The solution was
drawn by a single horse. On each side of the vehicle was a very large
wheel. These buggies provided a bumpy ride for their wounded passengers.
It was very difficult to treat a patient in a bumpy ambulence. Many
soldiers died on their way to a hospital.
