Twice within the past year, I have been held up in a small town in North Texas by trainloads of every configuration of Military vehicles, Humvees, tracked vehicles, Abrams tanks, trucks, trailers, large and small, vans. Pretty much everything it takes to fight a war. Everything was armored and everything was painted desert tan. I waited for both trains for around thirty minutes to pass but couldn't count the number of cars.

I was headed SE on my way home and the trains seemed to be going North to Northwest. I've been to large arsenals and Armored Division headquarters like Ft Hood where you can drive for miles it seems before you pass all the tanks, but I have never seen uncovered, armed vehicles in quantities like this. I guess I was not only curious as to where such a huge movement of armor was headed but also sort of awestruck by the sheer numbers.

Those who say US wartime production is a relic of WWII should see such sights.
