PLease forgive my lack of vision or knowledge but there seems to be no driver in that Hummer at 3:06, I realize he could be laying down but I don't see him anywhere or a steering wheel. I know when I would unload Polaris UTVs off semis that were double stacked we had to lay down in the seat so we would not loose our heads.
Very cool video! Interesting to see some of that stuff being loaded into racks! Normally I only see regular cars inside them.
beautiful video!!
cool, I did'nt know they were loaded on Autoracks too, I always see hummers for the military on open flatcars.
The armored trucks go on flatcars versus open tops (unarmored) go in the racks.
Very interesting! Gave me some modeling ideas.
Likewise
Just a btw this is usually the job of an 88M unit.
I have never knew that a train will carry a RV trailer
I couldn't get into one to remove it from a bi. Civilian model. So tight. Duelies so much easier to deal with.

Nice video! Why are military vehicles and camping trailers being shipped out at the same place?
Shipping trailers for hurricane Katrina for FEMA in 2006
I think that rail terminal is near Elkhart, Indiana. They manufacture both Hummers and the motor homes in that region. Great video!
I need a Wilson’s auto ramp kit in N-scale!!!
RAILWAY EASY LOADING & UNLOADING SYSTEM
Those are hummers btw.

Whats the torque specs on uncle Joe stepping on the wrench?
By the looks of it id say 60-80 ft-lbs.
I think this is uncle Sam by the way ;)
Precisely one FOOT pound
Wft?
A plastic cable tie to secure the chains? Really?
My guess is, that it shows the chains haven't been tampered with in an given time that exposed car is parked on any mainline track/siding.
correct, same as a seal on a trailer.. but since then - they've stopped zipping them.
