    Thank you. I got this about 20 posts ago, but appreciate the reiteration. ;)

Why would you ask if I worked for a major news network? Can people not pose questions, and hope for a response (which I now have)?

    Probably moving from storage to an equipment center, seeing as they seem unused and realatively plain. Maybe fitted and painted for iran?

    I don't think that was the purpose of this video, to be quite honest.

    Yeah, didn't think about that. My family lives in Guam and they have been talking about the shift and all the money that is being dumped into that little island to support it and the influx of soldiers and people that it will be seeing in the next years to come.

    Yawn... If you think it is bad to see this much equipment moving by rail in the states you should have seen how many pieces we moved by rail between Italy and Germany just for training exercises. The Austrians and/or Sweds must have been shitting themselves!

I mean a few in redistribution across the country is one thing, but I have never seen a train/cargo this large. Almost like we are gearing up for something big to come? Iran maybe?

    50 bucks says they are on their way to, or coming from the re manufacturing facility, where they rebuild them from the ground up. They're all shipped to and from there by train in mass amounts as it's the most economical way of doing it.

    Not painted war colors.

    No additional armor upgrades.

    Transported via commercial train.

    Probably headed to a training center somewhere or being prepped for sale/distribution.

    Believe me.. there is enough equipment in Iraq/Afghanistan/Kuwait right now to take over the entire middle east. You would not believe the capability of our military vehicles. The Brads on this train do not look like they are even equipped with the most recent commo/tracking systems that the military has been using for YEARS.

    Google "Blue Force Tracker" and read up on our capabilities.. you haven't even seen this in movies yet, I can promise you.

    Just because you don't notice it on a daily basis doesn't mean others don't. ;)

    Guess were just not use to seeing this many Bradley's on one train being shipped through. Even when living in San Diego, I never saw anything of this magnitude. Good to know though.
