Back in the 80's NASA had to divert the space shuttle from landing at Edwards AFB to White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. Southern Pacific built a special freight train that transported a bunch of support equipment from Edwards to White Sands. I was stationed at Fort Bliss at the time and there was a crowd of folks who turned out trackside on the line from El Paso, Texas, to Orogrande, New Mexico, to see the train. <br /> <br />Now I live near Fort Benning, and there's plenty of military trains to watch. <br /> <br />Recently, NS ran a special freight through Columbus, GA to a new power plant in Alabama. They had a huge flat car with what seemed like a million wheels supporting it. It was carrying a pressure vessel or turbine of some sort... it even made the front page of the local paper. <br /> <br />Erik
