Awsome Meet! Amtrak 505 With The 713 & BNSF 4705 With A Military Train

Set To High Quality

Taken: 02/01/09

Amtrak 713 rolls into Hanford ontime with 505 leading. Then, a specail treat. Earlier that morning, JP (amtrakboy627) let me know a military train had rolled through his area around 8:00'ish. With this, I knew I had probably missed it, as that was almost 2 hours ago. But, when a Warbonet was spotted leading, it was a givey. What a good way to spend the afternoon before the Super Bowel, and then watch my STEELERS WINS BABY!!!

Nice crew on 4705

@loganmc1978 Because it had just met the Amtrak train going in the other direction

if this was Southbound, chances are that it was going to Pendleton.

military parades are not good ideas simply because it puts large amounts of soldiers and equipment (typically unarmed) in a very small location and leaves them all vulnerable to attack that is why we do not have big show of force parades like iran and north korea one bomb could kill thousands of their troops

You are right and here is why. The Army will be commissioning studies on a better vehicle to use for expedetionary warfare. Besides Airborne/SF/Rangers and the Marines are best fittted for that. In this one with all the Stryker BDE vehicles-no one ever thought of how many airplanes needed to fly one or two vehicles to a warzone. With these new studies-they will make new vehicles. Great vehicles bad doctrine and planning. Actually, every Stryker BDE has deployed to war zones multiple times
