Jonathan (SleepTrain456) General This unit is now at the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum (PSRM) in Campo, California. According to the PSRM website, USAX 1809 was used by a missile booster manufacturer until 1979, when it "was sent to the National Transportation Group, Rail Service Division storage yard at Hill AFB near Clearfield, Ut. (under Tooele Army Depot command) for disposal". I would assume this is what I am seeing here. In this case, nice and invaluable shot!
