BNSF Military Tank Train

I caught this train going westbound from Oreapolis, Nebraska to Ashland, Nebraska where it went through the wye to take it northbound. It had to slow way down to go through the wye and I was able to take a few still shots as it started to head north. I shot the video at Yutan, Nebraska as it was leaving town. I didn't follow it any further, so I don't know if it interchanged in Fremont, Nebraska or continued north to Sioux City, Iowa. I'm not a military buff, so I don't know what type of tanks they are. Any thoughts?

The 58th Russian army in the North Caucasus has more than 600 tanks and 2,000 armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles...

Mostly M1A1 tanks, with at least one M1A2 mixed in. The A2 model has as its most distinguishing feature the CITV on the front left of the turret roof.

@DanielCorniciuc Oh I'm sure America has more than just 57 tanks, and each of these isn't that expensive, especially considering the A1 is from the mid 80's.

Look to the F35 if you want to see military waste of money!

if that train derailed that would cost a hell of a lot of money.
