[quote user="MidlandPacific"] <p>Oh, good grief - without a railhead ramp to unload it, it's just so much dead iron, anyway. The vehicles are stripped of anything removable before they're loaded, and the heavy weapons are missing breechblocks, and given that it takes most of the skilled and experienced men and NCOs in a well-trained unit to get it all onto a train in the first place, it seems pretty unlikely that you could do anything with it other than run it into - um, wherever the CTC dispatcher directs you to.</p><p>So not such a big worry, I think. </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Well, apart from able to rent a heavy lift crane from some rental place, it wouldn't be hard to steal one. From what I see, all the missile launchers are still on the Hummers, they just covered it with a OD tarp! Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the control box is located at the switch junction just like the signal box? If it's electronics, I am sure some geek would be able to override it! LOL</p>
