There was a Article online talking about how American Women are going to space.
The picture within the Article shows a impressive rocket moved by rail.
The credit to the picture goes to:

Sending US Astronauts into space via the Russians. The ultimate outsourcing. 
Still cool story and picture though. Thanks for sharing.
Yep, the Soyuz is the ONLY way to get to the ISS until SpaceX gets their Dragon capsule man-rated. That should happen in about 2 years, maybe less. It has performed excellently as a cargo spacecraft, now SpaceX needs to get the man rated version up and running. NASA has it's own capsule in development, but it's not ready yet---
There was an excellent article a month or so ago in a British train magazine about the railroad at Baikonur that services the spaceport. The way they transport the rockets from the assembly building is amazing. Thanks for posting the above shot.
