This is a first for me to see all the loaded Military cars in Nashua NH. I could not see the begin or end to this train. I am guessing it has to be over 100 cars just sitting across from where I work.
Anyone have any idea why there would be a loaded military train sitting in Nashua NH? Too bad I did not see any tanks or big guns!

Maybe the stuff is headed to Iraq via Canada. It looks like a lot of radar and missile control or communication vans.
Truthfully, I have not a clue. The photos are wonderful. Thanks for sharing. Joe
I don't know where it's going but it's the best real train photos I've seen in a long time.
Very cool!

We're invading Canada..... shhhhhhh! 
It's probably equipment headed back for storage/use at a reserve facility.
Really cool pictures! Thanks for sharing these with us.

I've never seen one myself, and if I saw one I wouldn't have had a camera.
Thanks for sharing.
Great photos.
I love military vehicles, equipment and trains.
Excellent!

Never seen one before. Great photos.
Nope. Those are definitely army trucks.
The snorkels are because National Guard units are expected to respond to flooding emergencies.

Sometimes even the snorkels don't help though!

Yep, hit 'em on Canada Day while they're still feeling those Labatt's and Molsen Ales....

This is a M1087 Expandable Van with the armored cab, usually used for contact and maintenance work.
Wish I could make out the unit markings on this one...
Army vehicles, no question.

And this is a HMMTT PLS (palletized loading system)
Sure wish i could identify the load its carrying.
Today I got a chance to talk to one of the railroad employees, he did not offer a lot of info but he did say that all he knew was that there are some new and some rebuilt equipment for the National Guard. He would not tell me where the train was headed.
Maybe the government is getting ready for the Zombie attack or a Comet strike lol.
I can verify the Guard has multiple units here in NH.
My niece is in one, she just did her month active last month.
They are a Transportation group and they drove down to Georgia and hauled fuel for 3 weeks, then drove back home.
Oh, She's qualified to drive everything in the pictures plus Tankers.
I find it funny, she's a short blonde thing and drives these massive trucks...

The story behind the two trucks in the flood I heard was the first trucks brakes failed and it drifted down the hill and the second truck was just following the first, not realizing the first was in trouble.

My short, skinny, blonde niece is a helicopter mechanic in the Guard here in NJ. Next month she leaves for a month at Ft Hood, then deploys for at least 11 months to Kosovo.
Proud of our neices, Russell.
