Iowa Army National Guard Soldiers with the Camp Dodge Department of Public Works and Sustainment Training Center secure a historic railcar for transport at Camp Dodge in Johnston, Iowa, on Aug. 3, 2022. Three flatbed railcars, a ramp and a short length of track were installed on Camp Dodge in the 1980s and served as a rail load training site for Soldiers for several years before railway operations became largely obsolete in the Iowa National Guard. Each railcar weighed approximately 31,000 pounds and could only be lifted by attaching an additional weight sling on the Kalmar RT 2440V2 rough terrain container handler. Rather than scrapping the railcars, the Camp Dodge Training Center arranged to have them transported to the James H. Andrew Railroad Museum in Boone, Iowa, for historical preservation.
