Though historians pay little attention to this incident,
in the late November 1941, the US 4th Marines withdrew from Shanghai, China orderly.

No trains.

Edit: Autobahn - Wikip

Trains are restricted to running on tracks that may be destroyed. Unlike motor vehicles, they can't cut across country when necessary. Beware of Wikipedia, they are just of internet folks with another opinion.

The best road is the railroad.
