cml136 33 UP L Military train 16 Sep 15

cml136: This westbound Union Pacific train is a Loaded Military train carrying support equipment, no tanks on this particular train, as it goes by the grassy field in San Antonio, TX, on 16 Sep 15. The train is going fairly slowly, and stops twice, giving us a chance to observe the various types of support equipment on the train. Since it is westbound, I would assume the equipment is returning to it’s home base after being deployed overseas. The equipment probably came off a ship at Galveston or Corpus Christi. Carl Lehman

This is amazing. Great catch.

This is a construction engineer unit. Lots of earthmoving equipment. 5 ton and 20 ton dumps, dozers, scrapers motor graders, track hoes, as well as other support equipment.

Don't forget those Oshkosh HEMTT's which are 15 ton trucks.
Actually,I think those Freightliner M920A2 or M920A3 MET's are categorised more than 20 ton trucks,the M915A2's-A3's and M916A2's-A3's themselves are 26 & 27 ton line haulers,the only difference is that one is 6×4 and the other is 6×6.The original versions of those trucks being the M915's-M920's & M915A1's-M920A1's that were CCC/AM General and had Cummins instead of Detroits were put on that category,the M920-M920A1 itself was a 18-20 ton dump truck.

There’s a few million dollars worth of equipment on that train for sure

Bull dozer and motor graders. Mass grave equipment.

[@LupeSaenz]

Looks a Navy Seabees unit

[@Slim_Slid]

Not a naval consist,those trucks on some of the flat cars are a give away.Some of those trucks are Oshkosh FMTV's and Oshkosh HEMTT's on that train which are only in the Army.The USN & USMC don't use 8×8 trucks,not for awhile now,only 6×6 & 8×8 big rigs.The last trucks that were 8×8 that the USMC had were the LVS MK48's which had articulated steering with hydraulics and a pivot,they primarily based on the DA-1500 fire trucks which are common in some airports.Then they went to the LVSR's/MMRS's which are all 10×10 only.In the USN & USMC both,they have MTVR's for 6×6 trucks,which are seven ton trucks and not two and a half/five ton like what the Army has and have conventional cabs and aren't cabovers.Plus in comparison to the FMTV's,the MTVR's are much more powerful,capable,reliable,durable,faster,
and heavier.
