It's like 30 or so Bradleys and Abrams so that's one division or so I think


More like a battalion or brigade at most. An armored battalion is going to have over 50 Abrams just by itself. Then it's got its own scout section with I think it's 4 Bradleys and then the maintenance section has the 88s. That's the big track vehicles on the left of the top pic in the op. Plus you'll have numerious 113s for everything from the HHC mortar section, medics, and other command and support elements in the battalion

I'll never forget the miles long NG convoy heading to Nola on I-10 in the immediate days after Katrina

Anyone want to take a guess at the value of that train from engine to the caboose?

More than likely an NTC rotation.

Textron manufactures ASVs, I don't think they deal with any of the vehicles on that train.

Yeah I originally said battalion then I edited it to division then I just said "part of a division"

Organization of units has always confused me. I'd say it's part of a battalion but the train itself isn't moving as one cohesive units. It's probably mixed pieces of multiple battalions

ETA: I originally thought the M1s were the mine clearing ones without their plows because I couldn't see the cannons. I've never seen M1s or M88s being transported in person

Every once in a while, someone will try to say it is illegal to take photos of military trains.

I had it happen to me twice.
