Here is a picture of a locomotive parked on a siding at Ft. Sill. This guy is used to move howitzers and 155 MM self-propelled guns (Paladin guns) around the fort's rail system. These guns are heavy! A WWII version had a tag listing its weight at 12,700 pounds, and this is not the self-propelled variety.
