Thanks. Mike Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/30/14 19:54 by bnsf70mac. Date: 09/30/14 20:03 Re: Shuttle booster rocket buffer & clearence cars Author: miralomarail Issue # 39 of TRP had a article about the NASA Train.
When I was working at LAUPT, many times I would see the Private car " Santa Cruz " returning to Salinas, Ca on Amtrak #14, it was used by the Crews that were on Escort duty Date: 10/01/14 06:45 Re: Shuttle booster rocket buffer & clearence cars Author: DHarrison I had these photos. I don't know their source. I had them while trying to convince a major manufacturer to make them.

 Date: 10/01/14 19:48 Re: Shuttle booster rocket buffer & clearence cars Author: upkpfan Here are two different clearance cars. As you can see, they just used Railbox boxcars as buffer cars. Then later on they didn't use any buffer cars at all. upkpfan
