View Full Version : Miles of tanks
A train filled with tanks and other armored vehicles went past my work today. I only took twenty seconds of video and a few pictures but it seemed like it went by forever. I don't know how much these things cost but I bet there were millions (if not billions) of dollars worth of equipment on that train.

M109A6 Paladins Self Propelled Artillery. The other vehicles are support for the guns, not sure of the nomenclature, believe they serve as mobile fire control centers, and ammunition resupply.
Looks like some Bradleys too on the initial video.
Got to drive up past some of the MP's armored cars other day was neat, dont see them as often as the mainstream stuff.

Maybe headed to the Piñon Canyon Manuever Site down south.
See that pretty often along B Street here in COS.
Used to see those go by at my old job down in La Junta by the tracks.

j/k Ray, cool video.

Could be some truth to that. The video and pictures were taken about a mile from the huge new Amazon warehouse being built off of I-70 and E470 and it was heading towards the warehouse.

Yeah, we've been warned that there may be some traffic snarls on the south end of CS due to Ft Carson guys convoying down to Piñon Canyon for war games.

That's a badass train full 'o hate.

At 40mph, to boot. Nice, relaxing 5hr trip to Trinidad.

Reportedly the largest military convoy since WWII.

I heard they're actually UN tanks here to confiscate our guns. [panic]

Should be easy to fight em, then, since the UN forces largely suck.

Yhea, on KOAA last night they said they were using both 115 and I25 "In order to not cause as much congestion."
Let me remove the spin: "We're going to clog the only two major North-South Colorado roadways at that same time with 40-MPH traffic."
O2
Ps. We should start a pool right now on how many deaths this will cause from idiots trying to pass on 115.
Wonder if they'll get a Pueblo Campaign Ribbon and combat pay?

I've done that convoy down to PC at 40-ish mph. Makes for some entertaining times inside a small cramped military vehicle.
Pretty sure I saw a drone with part of your order.

Glad to see they upgraded their drones to handle all orders regardless of weight! Looking forward to seeing them arrive tomorrow

Someone get this guy a dictionary.
They usually have dark curtains in the back seat and call it the Champagne Room.

Why is it that liberals love to have profile pics of kissing/being kissed by their significant other? It's almost like they're trying to brag, except that neither one is hot enough to "brag" about. I don't go on social media but I've been noticing this in forums lately. I know they're liberals because their usernames are often some sort of virtue signaling or progressive term.

On the bright side, it should disrupt the north-south drug mule flow as well ...
All those towed auction vehicles heading south are going to make it 1000% worse.
