1986 ... MX Missile- railroad launcher!



... reality imitates fantasy- almost. 

... the enemy can't destroy our missiles if they can't find them. So in
a 'time of crisis' why not send 25 regular looking trains that have 2 big missiles
with ten MIRV warheads out into the hills and hollers of America? 50 ICBM's with
500 warheads on choo-choos. Then the Cold War ended. Darn!
