Approximately 60 Brand New Tanks On Train Moving Through Central California - But Going Where???
I just got a message from a good friend in Modesto, California. He said there were at least 60 brand new tanks on a train moving parallel to highway 99 going through Modesto. Said he's going to try to get photos for me to post. There is no military base locally that does training with tanks. There are two training areas that are light infantry only within 100 miles. Otherwise, most heavy weapon training areas are at least 300 miles away. In that case, there are much closer ports where those tanks could've been moved in through.

This.

And the Trains all run through Modesto, it is a heavy 'trunk' line for Central Valley train lines.

The only reason why Modesto exists is due to trains. Its river is not large enough and deep enough to support cargo ships. It does have a few switching stations and used to be a train line when down the center of 9th street.

Military equipment bound for naval and air force 'ports' often go through Modesto.

We have a major line that runs North/South next to the 99, a two track line that runs East/West along Yosemite Blvd, then we have the Southwest/North East line, a line that runs From the Hershey Plant in Oakdale through the Canning district to Fresno and the Port of Stockton.

Stockton has the large river for shipping goods which travel down river to the San Francisco Bay.

We also have lines that run from the Modesto Area to Los Angeles and Southern California, and minor (side lines?) that run to junction downs in the foothills.

When I moved out here there used to be several other lines through Modesto when it was a major train junction.

Bullshit, and enough of these "military hardware on the move" threads.

These have been popping up for how long? How many threads have there been? How many US cities have been blown into the sky by all of this "hardware on the move"??

Until something happens, stop scaring people for nothing.

You could at least talk about the FEMA coffins your uncle saw being unloaded.

Yes mate, you're right.

But they're brand new... Which means they've been sitting in a depot, being maintained.

If they're not being shipped for use overseas then one should assume that there's a good reason they're being rolled out.

And if they're not being shipped for use overseas, one can only assume they're being transported for use in the USA.

My buddy is a freight broker for a logistics company in downtown Chicago. He told me yesterday about these large loads he linked up for FEMA for "plastic totes" on Monday...
