Kodachrome was too slow.

IIRC Kodachrome had an ASA of 12. :^)

We built a lot of steam locomotives during the war. Lend-Lease sent 2,000 locomotives and 11,000 rail cars to the Soviets. Union Pacific's 24 “Big Boy” locos were built between 41 & 44. With 95 percent of wartime freight moving by rail, the demand for locos was high. In addition to locos and rolling stock, some the builders also built war material. Believe Baldwin and Alco built short runs of M4 Sherman tanks.
