I am out of touch with the current capabilities of the military to conduct rail operations. They formerly. 30 years ago, were able to operate their own rail system. I am curious of the current capability, equipment and personnel wise. I made a comment on the "foil helmet" post regarding the USAF locomotive and would like some further comments in a more general sense. Based on the picture of the clapped out crane and the USAF locomotive, I have a sneaking suspicion that military rail capability has significantly declined.
