Talk:Peacekeeper Rail Garrison

comparable dimensions?

What are the rest of this vehicle's dimensions/specifications, and how do they compare with those of regular railroad cars (it seems extra-large)? What about speed of the trains? Could they get far enough away to avoid being damaged by incoming missles? There might also be something discussing how the missle was to be raised and launched, and how this affected the design and construction of the car. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 21:46, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunatly, the sources available don't mention any of the other dimensions. They're probably be available somewhere though - and yeah, it is oversized; 80 feet (24 m) is the standard size for a railcar these days, as I recall. As for speed of the trains, they would have been "flushed" well before the missiles were in flight - by the time a launch was detected, there would be at most ~15 minutes or so of time before impact and initiation, which, given the speed of heavily-loaded trains, wouldn't be nearly enough. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 21:56, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Broken (sorta') link

This link at the bottom of the page: "Federation of American Scientists: Diagram of the Peacekeeper Rail Garrison train setup", returns some sort of weird "prohibited" error (or something like that). It may be a paywall. In any event the link doesn't work.
