Railways are taking us back to the Moon!
Back in the 1960’s, NASA quietly built and operated its own short-line railroad. It wasn’t something you saw on TV—but it was critical in moving fuel, boosters, and hardware behind the scenes.
Fast forward to today… and it’s happening again. For the Artemis program, massive rocket booster segments are now being hauled across America by rail.
Here are a couple of nice reads if you want to dig in:
- Union Pacific moving Artemis rocket motors
- The original NASA railroad system that made Apollo possible
And just to bring this back to proper forum territory… Has anyone modelled this yet? @manimal
I’m excited.
