A New Life .....
Those are actually converted 40-foot cargo containers, not railroad cars.
Interesting idea. I'm thinking it would get terrifically hot in the sun. I'm sure there is some sort of air conditioning; but still.

It was pretty cool to see out in the middle of the desert, HT.

I stand corrected! Thank you, Nikonian72.

:thumbup: :thumbup: Actually look like shipping containers to me. They are being used all over the world today for anything from storage to living quarters.

That is what they are, I was corrected by Nikonion72 up above. I have seen them used for storage but nothing like this. I just thought it was interesting. :)

I would love to see the interior of that.

Hi Heirloom! I will see if I can find out anything about it. I wouldn't mind seeing the inside either.

Great! Maybe they will show you around.
Looks like smoke staining around openings and joints so it could be a training unit for a Fire Department. Perfect use for shipping containers. Modular build with doors and stairs. Filled with smoke, just like searching a house. Can't get sufficient resolution on the badge to identify it.
