HD - Union Pacific Military Train - The Army's Machines From War

There are very few trains on the Joint Line I end up chasing. Military trains happen to be one of the few I do end up chasing. On 11-23, I received word that a military train from Kansas City to Fort Carson, CO, was on its way down the Joint Line on Thanksgiving. With that info in hand, I woke up extra early to catch this rare train. It was a great sight to see especially when this guy, is going into the armed forces.

All info is in the video. Enjoy the chase!!

Wow, nice job. That equipment looks so similar but so different from the Combat Engineer equipment when I served in the mid 70's. We had loaded are Battalion onto a train for transport to Florida from Fort Polk... Nice looking stuff and great choice of locations for filming.

The Fort Polk, LA, to Fort Carson, CO, train did pick a switch and derailed three cars (two jack knifed) near the highway 115 overpass Thanksgiving morning, November 24, 2011 about 9:00 AM. Glad you nailed some early morning video - love your tripod - only way to shoot video! I wish you well with your future military career.

What make and model video do U use?

WOW. It is very rare to catch a train like this one. But I feel afraid of getting caught by military police if I were filming a similar train.

Looks like combat engineers to me also.
