Love these classics!
Nice catch, that was a soviet BMP-1 at 1:03, nice.
Love the power consist! GP40-2, GP39-2, another GP40-2 and a Conrail C40-8! Also nice to see that Grand Ledge is basically unchanged today from what it looked like back in 1993.
The thing at 1:08 is an SA-8 Gecko surface-to-air missile vehicle.
Awesome video!! 5/5 Cool lashup!
Cool!
Excellent, you've got some really great videos on your channel:)
Amazingly, the train transports war equipment. Great. Regards from Indonesia.
Very cool historic video, as a few guessed this was captured Soviet Union built Iraq army equipment from the first Persian Gulf War. It toured the country for several years going to I think almost every training site we have and active army bases. IIRC this stuff resides with the US Army armor museum collection now.
Ah nice , the spoils of war. The military loads look to be captured Russian built tanks and other armored vehicles. Possibly from the Iraqi Army since it is just after the Gulf War. I thought the tank wheels in the thumbnail looked to be from a T-55 and the self propelled AA gun looks cool. Excellent video.
So weird seeing an early CSX train carrying a bunch of T-72s and BMPs. Also crazy that the Russians are now fighting with tanks from the same era without any upgrades.
What a catch! That was all Russian equipment. T-72 tanks BTR-70 apc. Captured during the gulf war?
Neat, I've never seen Army stuff on a train before, but they are not American but most likely former Solviet equipment. At 1:02 and beyond there's some T-72's for sure and I don't know about the rest. The T-72 was built with a low profile to be easily concealed and a smaller target. As a result no one over 5'? could fit in one. The US never owned tanks that short
@tjmfishing Probably to be used as target practice.
You guys ever hear of Opfor? Its an U.S. Army Unit that dresses as the Opposition for The U.S. Army to practice against before the Unit deploys.
Cool stuff! From what year?? 1993??? Hahaha..the evil spirits in me come out sometimes...
@tjmfishing ahah dude I'm like wtf is with the Soviet equipment. Maybe some used in a movie? Or the military bought them to test weapons on them? Who the hell knows.
Limit: 2 tons of steel per flat bed :)
Wait I think the Canadian military has some old soviet tanks...I know they also have American equipment but I think some (very few) soviet tanks and armored personal carriers......Just another guess. lol
