We did this in Germany all the time its called "rail heading" we would send our vehicle to training areas in Germany. Usually took 2-3 hours by car to get to the training areas but on the rail it could take 18 hours to get the vehicles there as being the lowest priority on the tracks. lol M1 tanks and M3 Bradleys plus M88 and various other equipment. Do you live close to Barstow Ca? NTC is there its a big training area. Oh yeah 3rd Infantry division patch on the metal conex! Rock of the Marne!

Germany 1974-76, CCO 1/35 Armor, we moved our M60A1's by rail back then, long time ago, lots of water under the bridge.

Wow, the power it must take to pull all that.
