I found this video to be very informative. I dont think they did an entire armored division on that train, A stuart light tank had 3 men (I think) and there were about 300 to a division 2 to a 40 foot flat car yeilded a total of about 150 flats. My feeling is that they moved by subunits in multiple trains. MAIN Trains to my understanding had piority over everything else on the rail. I have witnessed a number of trains heading to ports south in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and the cargo is very well taken care of. I think they may have moved some heavy stuff at night and flown the troops overseas to mate with equiptment. I have always believed that a strong fleet of merchants to carry the material over seas backed by a fleet of heavy transport aircraft can get the job done. This video is one of the internet highlights of this hobby.. Thank you very much for allowing us the link to it. Lee
