 The
U. S. Army Transportation Museum occupies
a six-acre site at the entrance to Fort Eustis, Virginia,

of the Virginia peninsula.
Interior exhibits
are arranged chronologically. Featured are ten full-size
vehicles, including an H-13 Sioux helicopter and a cutaway

“Boats and Trains, Trucks and Planes - where trucks walk and boats fly!”
Extensive outside displays feature fixed and rotary-wing
aircraft, tugboats and amphibious landing craft, tracks
and material handling vehicles,
steam locomotives and rail cars, and a few experimental vehicles. The
Aviation Pavilion includes aircraft from the Korean conflict through
Vietnam, from the OH-23 Raven to the CH-54 Tarhe “Flying Crane,” and
