Steve,

Where in the train were they placed? Did the pair travel on a 6 axle dodx flat car every time?

Thanks, Laddie

A Lot of Tanks went from the Lima Tank Arsenal via BN over the C&I headed to PNW for proofing before entering service.  At least 2 a week.  As they were heavy wide loads they had wide load files sent to the DS office so it was no trouble watching them.

Worked in DS office for 35 years,  Cicero, Galesburg and then the "Nest of Confusion"

I see Rapido is releasing M60 tanks which would be perfect for the 1970s.

Did the Q handle much military traffic. I read one story about military loads on the KC to Council Bluffs line, but was wondering if there are other instances.

Thanks
