Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Military armament train full of tanks headed west today - Video

Hey all, just made this video this morning while I was out riding my motorcycle. Very impressive military armament train just east of San Antonio headed west. A lot more tanks on this train than I'm used to seeing. Wonder where it was headed and why.

They desert training area out in California

Maybe the Sierra Army Depot in NE CA. My brother works there, I'll see what he can tell me.

Looks like a bct is headed to Ft Irwin for a rotatio.

That was my first duty station back in the day.

Little fun fact ft Irwin has no railhead. All equipment goes to Yrmo

Headed to the Virginia Lobby Day...but like the army is, they're runnin' a little late.

They were going to be used against us in Richmond Monday but they changed their minds last minute when they heard fireball and steve4102 warned us of their nefarious plans. If you watch, there will be a train carrying the UN troops, death chambers and 1000's of body bags coming through right behind it.

NTC Ft Irwin baby. I loaded a battalion of armor onto train cars back in 84. Ft Stewart GA to NTC and return.
