The US President's Bulletproof Railcar

Captions provided by CCTubes – Captioning the Internet! US Car Number 1, the Ferdinand Magellan, sits in the Gold Coast Railway Museum in Miami. It’s 120 tonnes of bulletproof, armoured railcar: a train carriage designed to move the President of the United States around the country in safety and style. At least, it was, until other transport came along to do a better job.

Thanks to all the team at the Gold Coast Railroad Museum: they’re at http://www.gcrm.org/, or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/GoldCoastRailroad/ ! [looks like their main site’s down at the moment!]
