It is very much prototypical. Railroads are used quite frequently to move armor and equipment. The Department of Defense still retains its own fleet of rolling stock as well. And believe me on this one, it doesn't even take large equipment to break a C-5, they will break just sitting on the flight line. Anyhow, I will try to post a few links for DOD railroad equipment in a little while. G2G, HOOAH!!

probably handling large equipment. I dont know but I know they used trains for troops well into the 70s how ever these days all soldiers are flown to their destination. But some of the large equipment is just to expensive to fly because the super cargo planes(like the C-5 galaxy) tend to break their landing gear on landings.

I just purchesed one of Walthers Trainline gp-9 U.S. Army locomotives and was wondering how prototypical it is , I know that during the Civil War the Army used railroads , but what does the milatary use them for today ?
