Re: NNG- Nevada Bombing Range Train

Getting a little adrift here, but this is an escort car used when nuclear materials (warheads) were transported by rail. Armored, bullet proof glass, gun ports, full communication suite and RV style living quarters. There might be several of these in the train around the actual weapons cars. Not used for years, they were saved from scrap and were to be donated to nuke museums.
