If you haven't seen it already, you may like this video about NASA's train receiving Ares I-X segments from the Florida East Coast railway.

Both videos are very interesting. Thanks guys for the heads up. Question: a few years back Athearn introduced a NASA SW1500 in HO that resembled #1 and #2 in color and lettering. Athearn also included a wide vision caboose lettered for NASA - does (did) a prototype exist for the caboose? Just curious.

One of the very last places a Nathan M5 horn can be found in regular service. Probably hard to get in there though.

I caught a glimpse of one of their switchers by the VAB (Vehicle Assembly Building) during a tour of KSC when I was there for Endeavour's final launch.

Former NASA no. 1 which is an Alco S2 is on display at the Gold Coast Railroad Museum in Miami.
