Touring the Train that Transported Thousands of Nuclear Weapons across the United States (Amarillo)

In this episode, I visit the Amarillo Railroad Museum in Amarillo, Texas, and get a tour of the White Train, used to transport nuclear weapons between Pantex Plant and many other facilities of the U.S. nuclear weapons complex between the 1950s and 1980s. I spoke to Katie Braughton, the Pantex Plant historian, who shares some background on the White Train and the transportation of nuclear weapons. Then I peek inside a former guard escort coach that used to protect the train while en-route to its many destinations.
