Last weekend I was heading west to join friends for a hike, when I arrived at a stoplight and saw a train to my right. All 70 sections were flat bed freight cars. Each one carried three brand new Army jeeps. The jeeps were not covered, so I don’t think it was any big secret. No ships sunk by these loose lips. I did wonder, however, about their destination. There is a large Army base west of the city.

As luck would have it, the Veterans’ Hospital is the white and brick building in the background.
Still looking for the peace train.
What are your thoughts on this caravan?

P.S. You all were too kind to mention it last week, but I could only count to 2, not 6. Retitle: Oddly Hazardous, Oddly Hazardous, Oddly Hazardous. ?
That isn’t something you see every day, Rebecca!

Well, exactly! Truth be told, I nearly had a crash changing lanes so I’d be in position to take the photo because I was agog at the sight.

I love your idea of “looking for the peace train.” Jeeps are not so ominous, but it is chilling to see the war train cruising by.

It’s not a common sight. I’m surprised that the jeeps were left uncovered. Where, indeed, is the peace train?

In the light of current news, that’s a chilling sight, even though they’ll be chugging away, we hope, to some innocuous peaceful manoeuvres.

Yes, this was right before the invasion news. Yes I hope they’re off to help folks in a storm perhaps.

Curious indeed Rebecca. A sign of our times perhaps. Let’s all work to make them peace jeeps.

I found it startling, wondering where we might go with the jeeps (hope not the Ukraine).
