The US president has a bulletproof railcar

I realise I said "railway" instead of "railroad" at the end. Apparently I haven't picked up too many American dialect words yet...!

Meanwhile, the Soviet Union had an ICBM train car

There must be something humbling about traveling like that with a commode chair and single bed, giving speeches at little whistle-stops. Would help to keep presidents (and politics) grounded (literally) and more connected to their constituents and country.

can someone please ID this guys sunglasses??

Air Force One isn’t painted red, white & blue either.

Oh. Railcar, not racecar.

a simpler place
but im still keeping the internet
my aesthetic in a nutshell
love u tom

A simpler time would be great to go back to but without all the racism and misogyny.

Trump train causes STD’s and lots of warts. You’ll also lose IQ points. Significant IQ points.

Did that toilet release its contents into a holding tank for later disposal or was it the kind that just went straight out onto the tracks below?

Salute for engineer and their team

And final locomotives is Union Pacific big blow the tarben engine 1959 year the train in the world

Air Force one is more of a call sign to whatever aircraft that the Air Force owns that the president is on

Time was slow…compared to now. Nostalgia overcomes my modern mind. Thank you for sharing!

Imagine if Joe Brandon took this puppy for a spin

My dad was on that train, although likely not in this car except for one or two rare instances. When FDR would go to the house in Hyde Park, NY, my dad was always on the train. Once when the president left the written copy of his speech on the train, it was my dad that was sent back for it. This train caused the introduction of the FM Radio mode. Quite simply, AM radio as was the norm prior to this was badly interfered by static. The wheels rolling on the track caused a lot of static. As such, they, the Secret Service needed a radio that was not using the AM mode. FM had been tried in one of the military branches. I think my dad told me it was the army. Once the radio was swapped out for FM mode, no more problems with static. After my dad passed, I was digging through the cedar chest and found an envelope that contained what appeared to be an old calendar holder, sized to fit a suit jacket pocket. Inside, no calendar, but my Dad's White House ID from 1941. On the outside, in gold printing it said simply, From FDR, Christmas 1941.

Dang it. I came here waiting for a bulletproof Group Audi Quattro RALLYCAR hahaha dang dislexia

We all know Grant traveled in a giant mechanized spider.

Only to go back.

When was Airforce 1 painted Red, White & Blue?
