Some heavy stuff heading for Souther CA?
« on: March 25, 2013, 06:03:16 PM »
Armored trucks, Humvees, ammo crates?, turrets for armored vehicles, support trucks, and who knows what else.  The train  is long.  Just vehicles coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan and heading to the Mohave Training grounds for upgrade and future deployment?

 ;)  Wish I could get a railcar number....   I still have some sources that can do traces on shipments.  Things like origin - destination - load details, kind of stuff...  ::)

That's Buffets train set. Could you get some info for the BN?

Maybe they are getting ready to surplus them out like Jeeps after WWII. I can dream.

Let's pray it's the latter, GG.

I remember another video showing a train load of M2 Bradley Tanks and Oshkosh refueling tankers.  A little while later they had the first (?) L.A. "training exercise".  Related?

You can't really begin to make any determinations as to destination until we have a direction.  The enclosed tri-level auto carriers on the train moving in the opposite direction could be headed west, if loaded - east if empty. 

Those railcars usually move in large blocks or entire trains of autos to a destination - distribution point, like Los Angeles...
