I saw a whole train full of these things a few mos back. It was an eerie sight. I was out riding my bike in the middle of the night [long story]. The train was just sitting there, idling on the outskirts of town. Every car was a flatbed, and ea one carried a single light-armored vehicle. I stopped riding and just sat there staring. Never saw anything like it before—though I’ve seen one similar train since.

The feeling I got was, ‘This must the kind of thing people see during wartime. People probably saw trains loaded similarly in pre-WWII Germany’. Don’t know if that’s true or not; that’s just the sense I had, as I stared at that long, long train, loaded solid w armored vehicles.

You should have a warm feeling. Think of all the UAW paychecks those rigs generated...
