Military Train

[NW Mailing List]

Amen to the observations on train movements of our military equipment. Do we really need to know their exact schedules or routes in these turbulent, tenuous times? 
You would think a few tarps would have been a good investment to cover the machines. They do look like formidable but very expensive rides.

Hopefully, we can continue to enjoy our shared passion for trains and all of the many different loads we see on the tracks without doing anything that causes problems for our troops. 

Yes, let's get back to trains.

Technically, we have been at war since about September 1990.
There's actually a regulation that specifies periods of war, at least for VA benefit purposes.
So that's 28 years.  And still ongoing.  And we thought at 11 years (later changed to 13 years)Vietnam was long.
Some of our young men and women have done their entire 20 during wartime.
Although the point about taking pictures of a trainload of tanks during a war is valid.  Part of the reason we don't have pictures of the hoppers PRR leased to the Virginian during WWII.  
Just for the record.  Back to trains.
