I am trying to find a picture of an M26 on a rail road flat car. I thought that maybe someone has a manual for a tank in that family that shows how one is made ready for rail travel sort of like in the back of the TM8030 where it shows blocking for our M37's. Or maybe one of you guys has some photos of one on a flat car.
I have a good friend who is a model railroader and wants to put an M26 in his train.
I have searched the net and the couple of books that I have on Korean era armor and no luck.
Thanks
Rick
Best I could find

Not much out there for the M26 and trains.

Tom at;
www.snakeriver4x4.com might have something up his sleeve? Plenty of tracked vehicles running around his place.

That is a pretty good example of a model. The chains even look good. Thanks. I still want to see full scale one though.

What was the real kicker, I went down to DMV and licenced the truck and trailer for 50,000 lb.s
I went down to the scale and the darn light weight was 48,000 lb.s
That trailer is pure steel and heavy.
