Description: Between 1953 and 1961, R. G. LeTourneau built six Overland Trains. These enormous trackless rubber-tired trains were designed to reduce logistics limitations on undeveloped or non-existent roads. They could carry heavy loads over sand, jungle, and the snow and ice. When President Eisenhower announced the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line development in 1954, R. G. LeTourneau, Inc. started developing Overland Trains for an Artic environment. Mark Moore takes you through a complete history of the Overland Trains, from the Army's nuclear Overland Train ambitions, digging for gold in Nome, and the stories about some of the most iconic big machines in our history. He interviewed service members and civilians who worked on and around the machines, with details and accounts that you won't find in any other publication. Join Moore as he takes you through the journey that is R. G. LeTourneau's Overland Trains.
