The military uses locomotives for local duties, also. <br /> <br />Here in NJ is the US Navy's Earle Weapon Station. They use 1st generation diesels, VO-1000, SW900, SW1200 and 80 Ton. They carry ammunition from an inland storage area out to a long pier for loading onto the warships or the supply vessels. <br /> <br />Parts of the right of way is elevated, crossing highways and such. <br /> <br />And, the Army operates yards for shipping equipment overseas. Now closed, was the MOTBY (Military Ocean Terminal Bayonne Yard) in Bayonne NJ. Trains would come and go all time with every possible load. Steamers and diesels, with local Army switchers assigned to the yard. The place crowded with equipment waiting to be loaded onto ships. Pick any kind of loads you want, and paint them olive drab. <br /> <br />Greg <br /> <br />
