Default [MV] Army train swings through Boulder again

Man, I think I might have to take up trainspotting as
a new hobby. Unfortunately I left my digital camera at
home, so you'll have to trust me when I declare I just
saw about 40 or 50 M1070's that just cruised over the
rails here, with attendant trailers. These were
clearly involved in the current theater, as most had
Arabic (!!!) insignia (in khaki, as I recall) on the
front cowling. Here's what else they had:

· Bridge plates showing "30"
· Most if not all were "US ARMY"
· The MASSIVE winches on back
· The beautiful 16.00r20 Michelin XZL's
· CTIS
· And close enough to touch (read: drool all over)

Interesting drivetrains on those, btw. And finally, my
co-workers have a reference point for the sheer size
of my 16r20 XL's at home. :)

Cheers
