[Accrs] Military trains going through San Jose

[Alameda County Central Railroad Society]

Several rather long military trains have been passing through the San Jose area lately. I caught one parked near the Santa Clara CalTrain station, and later that evening it went roaring through Morgan Hill headed south. It was pulled by 3 of the larger BNSF locomotives. The cargo seemed to be armored troop carriers, haulers and flatbed trailers, generators and containers, and other military construction equipment. All the equipment was loaded on individual flatbed cars (which looked to me like container flatbeds).

I understand from others that there have been many of these trains headed south recently. Any idea where they are going and why?
