Summary
| Description | English: This 26.5 meter railcar, painted as an ordinary Westinghouse railcar (one of the contractors), was a prototype built to carry and launch a single, nuclear-tipped LGM-118A Peacekeeper Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile. As part of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan's Peacekeeper Rail Garrison Deployment System, two of these cars plus two engines, two security, a fuel, a launch control, and a maintenance car would make up a complete train - one of 25 trains operated by the U.S. Air Force Strategic Air Command. Once deployed, they could roam the entire country until ordered to launch or stand down. This prototype railcar was retired to the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio in 1994. |
