I had no idea that only the aft booster segments needed to be climate controlled on those rail cars - great video!

I was 8 years old when Armstrong walked on the moon. Here in the UK it was between 3 and 4 in the morning when it happened, but my Mum made me get up and watch it on the black and white tele we had back them. "This is a moment in history", she said, "you'll thank me for getting you up to see it when you're grown up..." !!!

its cool that UP and NS both used their painted veterans units for the move

Charlie, once again you produced a very interesting display of our nation's ''get er done philosophy''. God bless the USA.

I was alive for Apollo 10 and beyond, and I remembered Apollo 11, despite being “too young” to remember. However we didn’t have video to rewatch the most prideful moments of our history. Hopefully, the entire planet will eventually work together in peace to further the nature of humanity in exploration of not just our Solar system , but our entire galaxy! Plausible, Yes. Possible, unknown at this time, but as a species we can achieve the destiny of interstellar travel, if we can stop all of our petty problems and desire for power and world domination. And yes, the railroad will be a major part in the future of space travel and exploration.

Great vid! The loco is based on the RS-1 from WW2. We used them to move military freight from the Gulf to Tehran. The Russians kept borrowing them and what do you know they designed the RS-1ski. The gauge is 5 foot, as are all railways in former Soviet states.

Thanks for the excellent video. I’m sure most people have no idea how vital railroads are in transporting these important components.

The PAN AM logo in 2001 was on a less futuristic vehicle than imagined in the movie

Both railroads fan and space craft fans now agree on same video.

As usual my friend well done epic video

Thanks for the pretty cool informative video! I live not far from that facility in Utah and I would love to check it out sometime!

Live long and prosper 🖖

the blue loco even though retired can be seen between north Vernon, Indiana and Madison, Indiana on the short line still bearing the same livery.

Another interesting and informative video. Thanks for posting.

Fire video. This is super cool.

Great Vid

Oh wow they blue tipped Norfolk Southern train is clean

I love that photo of NS056, Norfolk Southern did a very good job with the photo op

4:35 nice Orange car

That "Shuttlewagon" seemed to have a bit of a wheel-slip problem. Bet that didn't happen with the SW1500s!

Very nice video and informative.

Your videos and comments are superb. I think they are the best on KZfaq. As s modeler, it would be great to see an astronaut take a model train into space and release it into zero gravity. I don't care about the scale. If astronauts can carry golf clubs and balls into space, why not a model train?

Nice to see Kennedy space Center (aka 30 minutes from me) getting some love!

Slight correction, the SLS five segment solid propellant boosters, unlike the Space Shuttle four segment boosters, will not be recovered. Like the RS-25 liquid Main motors, they are just going to use up all of the stored Space Shuttle motor hardware and when they run out, will make more single use motors as long as the SLS is still relevant.

Interesting Something New thanks

watching those shuttlewagons move was...painful the booster segment trains setup is really cool though i do love how the russians use rails to move an entire rocket, unfortunately i havnt been able to find out much about the rails themselves though, lot of the ussr used 75kg/m rails for the heaviest operations, but i dont know if that is even enough for the rockets weight even more so for the n1 rocket, even though it was straddled between two parallel tracks thats some serious weight

*Thomas and the Jet Engine intensies*

Nice

Were the veterans units randomly put on that train or were they hand picked?

i watch the atrimist 1 launch!

wow

anyone else want to turn the rocket on and set a new rail speed record

Those shuttlewagons look horrifically underpowered for moving a train of that size and weight... Nasa should seriously consider investing in a new locomotive from something like MPI, or even something second hand to give those poor things a break...

They’re really gonna use a new manned moon mission to distract us during the next election 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Why is the first time I'm hearing about the artemis program on a train channel? Useless lamestream media I swear.

👍👍👍❤❤❤🚂🚂🚂🚀🚀🚀

How does NASA make money to pay for all this stuff?

Great Video as always Brother and can remember the solid rocket boosters were on the headend of KCS's #9 Intermodal Train out of Kansas City years ago. 😊🚂🚉🤔🙏
