    Looks like an infantry division worth of Bradley’s to me. Either going home to fort hood… or going somewhere else.

    The hope is that they are returning home from Iraq.

    Let’s hope Newt doesn’t use them for his Moon occupation.

    Not coming back from the middle east; NATO camo, not desert tan.

      I agree with Fletcher. The camo is not desert but green. These could be going to the boarder, which I doubt or we could have sold them to some other country maybe. Green camo in the desert makes one an easy target unless we sold them to Iran.

    Wait long enough, we’ll probably be seeing them rolling down a road near us.

    @Dallas Military trains are actually pretty average in weight. The heaviest trains I’ve run are 24,000 tons. Yes, that is 48,000,000 pounds.

    @BigBoyBC Start early.

    @Joe You have no idea how disorganized it is.

    @Fletcher I hauled many of these trains (load of course was a different color) before the war. Never saw any equipment come back.

    We started hauling trains like this months before the war ever started. I knew it was a done deal. Kinda depressing thinking about how many of our young men would die in this equipment.

    Yes, I’m a locomotive engineer.

    They could be going to or coming from South Korea by way of either Port of Oakland or Port Hueneme near Oxnard. Lots of military vehicle and equipment pass thru these two ports on the west coast.

    Baltimore handles a lot on the east coast. I have delivered to the port of Baltimore and seen a brigade’s equipment neatly parked waiting to go on one of the big Roll On/Roll Off ships.

    According to mil-bloggers, these are older model Bradleys coming BACK from Korea for re-fit to the new standard.

    A similar video months ago shows the new Bradleys heading out the other way.

    They are to be refitted at a plant near Lemont Furnace PA. They have been doing this for many years. Just won another multi million dollar contract. So move on, no real news here.
