(11,922 posts)A friend who drives on Interstate 66 in Virginia saw a couple of semis with tanks loaded on the back heading away from DC. So, there's that. I haven't been by the car depot in Jessup where they were marshalling to see if they've cleared out.

(65,126 posts)These might have been the tanks seen on I-66.
There was at least one Sherman in the parade. I doubt that the Army has them in use anymore. A Sherman is considerably lighter and smaller than a modern tank. It can be transported without too much difficulty on an interstate highway. The modern equipment is more ... challenging.

(65,126 posts)The cars were left at CSX's Benning Yard in SE DC to be unloaded. Everything is wide open, so when the tanks go back on the DODX flat cars, someone will surely be making a video.
This guy drives around DC all the time making videos. Check his channel.
