I counted 95 tanks. I'm back, 3 years later, September 2023, still counting. This time I count 97 tanks, and about 14 are single oads in the front of the train, the rest double loads.

These are M1s, and M1IPs being taken out of long storage in the high desert. They are on their way to Aniston Alabama to be broken down for rebuild. Once broken down they will be retrained and sent to Lima Ohio to become M1A2SEPV3s.

Well captured. Three different angles and different places. No shaking of camera. Never a dull moment for the train enthusiasts. The sirens in the beginning and no train visible, add drama to the incoming giant! Great video!

Stunning footage, I really enjoyed watching and of coarse I subscribed 👍😎

Great video. So different from where I live (NL) :) Thanks for making and sharing!

Great & epic video as always...I like IT!!! Big like from Romania

wow wow WOW this is Awesome. Ive been there a few times, seen lots of great trains there and along 58 but nothing like this / So Cool you share it with us thank you!

That was AWESOME, Huge Like & you have a new subscriber 👍👍

We should be more thankful for our railways because of this!

Excellent!!! great find thank you

Tanks for posting this cool video.

One of the best produced train videos I have ever seen. Well done!!!

I LOVE Military Trains!! and this one is fabulous!!

Tanks a lot for the upload 😉

Largest railroad company on the earth supplying the most powerful army on the earth. Bravo!!

Perfect clip!👍👍👍

That's what I counted myself unless I counted wrong. Very nice catch of video. Don't see those everyday. Thanks for sharing

Great shots here - good sound too :)

Former Abrams operator here. Never got to see the trains travel between bases, as I was at either end waiting for them. I also became the UMO (Unit Movement Officer) who's job is to supervise and plan the rail movement of the vehicles. Every one of those tanks has fuel (not much admittedly) and is capable of being driven for a good distance. All ammo and installed weapons like the mounted machine guns are not present however for obvious reasons. The most back breaking part is doing the tiedown thing, and after that guiding the vehicles just so onto the cars is much harder than you think. Another important thing to note is that Abrams tanks (and Bradley IFV's) aren't driven everywhere. We transport them via truck (HEMTT) to the loading and unloading zones. Driving the vehicle is only done in short distances for maintenance or fueling, longer distances are only traveled for training exercises and proper war. I could keep going, but congrats for reading this far! Best job I ever had!

Lifelong UK Railway enthusiast enjoyed watching all twelve plus minutes of that. Thanks for posting. Maybe an illusion created by the lens, considering the size of the USA, what surprised me was to see the very tight radii of some of the curved parts of those sections of track. Here in little old UK, such tight curves are rare. We have long freight trains in the UK ~ helps keep freight off our traffic laden Roads and Motorways, but nowhere near as long as you have over there. Impressive stuff.

Beautiful Location .Great Video🇵🇰👍

Cool. I love M1A1/M1A2 Abrams. Also I love trains

ชอบมากครับ รู้สึกดีๆ กลับเดินทางกลับรถไฟ

Excellent photography, 5 diesel engines, pulling the entire Military equipments. Hates off⚘👍🙏👌🚦🚦

i used to work for sp signal here in the 1980s. what a amazing exciting place. non stop trains 24/7 365. probably one of the best places in america for rail fans, (also cajon pass about 100 miles southeast of here on interstate 15) this is no place for inexperienced engineers and conductors. very easy to stringline a train out here. (pulling lighter weight cars off the tracks around a curve if there is too much weight on the back of the train. generally a train should be loaded heaviest cargo front. a 4500' train will cross over itself here on the over pass. i worked out of palmdale but loved it when we had jobs in mojave and tehachapi

❤️ Amazingly beautiful videos. Thank you for sharing.

A lot were going to Ft Irwin Ca. National training center near Barstow. Many times a year.

I also counted the Numbers of tanks attached with locomotive Engines and found 97.Nice video. 👍

Hi I am going to collapse with happiness because I just love trains that much. Thank you for the videos you are an inspiration.

I was a Tank Commander in the U.S.Army, retired 21 years and retired from B.N.S.F.Railroad 2013. Love my jobs but enjoyed my Retirement.

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. I enjoyed looking at this video. So amazing.

This is a nice Video, I'd give anything to be able to live in those hills and watch trains all day. 👍🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃

Now that is a lot of firepower on that train. Great video. Thanks :-)

Great video!! Amazing landscapes and trains! Greetings from Spain

Worked the rail while in the army loved loading and unloading trains.

Great video! Awesome location!

Isso mesmo amo ver o trem e ainda ele pitando obrigado parabens

I saw something like this going through glacier park ..2001 i think ...was neat

Wooow ...keren keretanya ,tikungan yang bagus.viewnya bagus buat hunting kereta api

Great video. Thanks for sharing 🎉

Wow! A real train. I live in Calgary Alberta where we see DPU and 200car trains all the time all the time, not down east, where a 60 car consist is “spectacular” . Absolutely great job!

That was the most interesting train I've seen in a while

I bet we won't see a video like this one again in a long time!

Great catch !!!!

Great video!

its possible that they may be headed to lima OH or anniston army depot for rebuild M1a2 sep package

Csodás látványt nyújt.🌹🌹

Great video! Enjoyed it very much, thanks for posting.

Oh..how long that train, amazing,thanks for your nice video..

I saw a similar train leaving the ALCO Plant in Schenectady, NY loaded with Patton tanks headed for Korea in the early 19590's. Just part of our Forever War.

Nice view coming around that curve.

Extremely Outstanding fantastic good job 👏🏼 👍🏾

Que bonito es el tren es otro mundo saludos a todos los que trabajan en esos ramos DIos me los cuiden

That place looks like an old dirt bike video game map I used to play on.

I love this video. Awesome train. Thanks for posting it.

I had railhead with this type of convoy while in the army and very impresive to see and be part of it.The rain conductors are very awsome GBUS.

Those all look like older model M1's. Like M1A1. None have the independent commander's sight found on the M1A2, and several are missing road wheels - most commonly the middle two. Also looking at the variety of paint schemes (tan, olive, and three-color NATO) I think that these are all older model tanks going to disposal or possibly remanufacture into newer versions.

Amazing. Iam lucky to see such video's.👋👋👋

God, bless the USA! Greatings from Russia! M1 Abrams my favorite MBT!

waw. this was just exciting, the battle tanks were transported.

Never seen a real train before, would love to travel and enjoy these lovely sights of trains

Cool video and channel just subscribed

Just seen this same convoy in spokane about 40 days ago, coming from west, seattle, and was heading east towards idaho panhandle.. 7/29/22. Today's date, approximately 6/15/22 Ish

Отличное видео !

Very impressive !

Amazing video very interesting 👌👏👍🙏 Thank you 🙏

Unbelievable❤️From India 🇮🇳

Brilliant catch !

Hermoso vídeo me fascinan las locomotoras me crié cerca de ellas

Many of them appear to be very worn, even damaged.

best video I have ever seen. wow. nice job dude. holy crap what an excellent video. Damn time for a cigarette.

That's a first for me. I've never seen a tank train before!

All heading for rebuild/refit.

I love train it.s nice vidéo iam SNTF from algeria

Aloha~beautiful video..could you tell me type of camera/setting you have used for videos thank you!👍🤙👊

97 tanks!

I was lucky enough to see a train going over Tehachapi.

This is the horseshoe curve at Caliente. I believe he’s going east to Tehachapi pulling the hill. I always enjoyed my visit in the area.

The physics of locomotives and freight trains never cease to amaze me. All that weight on such little surface area between wheels and rails.

Super cool ! , I doubt I'll ever see this any where else. I have some trains that run through the nearby area and find them impressive .

They are probably headed to Anniston army Depot or the Lima army tank plant for rebuiding

Totally awesome!

Different, thanks for sharing.

INCREÍBLE .

Tanks a lot, great video.

Was this train headed to Anniston Alabama? Many of those vehicles looked to be in pretty rough share.

Just assorted Abrams variants going to the Lima plant to be overhauled? Only once seen something like that coming from Arizona to Michigan, the train, I think, had Bradleys on it. Saw it somewhere in the desert, passed over the bridge and only got a quick glance.

Excelent vídeo 👏👏👏👏

Beautiful 👏👏👏👏

Absolute great work....as always!!!! Big big like from Romania 👍👀💖🚂

Amazing! It's so long!

Back in the '90s we and our friends used to drive up to the loop and sit and watch for the train. I counted 97 Abrams, close to the number required for a Second Division Armored Brigade, I believe. That's supposed to be about 116 MBTs. This train was hauling about 6300 tons of MBTs.

Great video! Never seen so many tanks being transported. Looks like they're bound for retrofit.

wow! super Big! my son loves your videos! Like

My guess is they're on the way to the boneyard for long term storage. A lot of them look old and need to be retired.

Wow! My two favorite vehicles!

Amazing! Impresionant 👍

I hoped on a tank and rode a few hrs in a train not too long ago. No security or green berets or anyone was around . Our military. Gotta love em.

Awesome video friend ❤️
