Nuclear Armageddon on Rails - The TOP SECRET US Peacekeeper Program

During the height of the Cold War, the United States developed a top-secret rail-based nuclear missile program known as the Peacekeeper Rail Garrison. This initiative aimed to keep nuclear weapons mobile and undetectable, ensuring a devastating counterstrike capability. This analysis explores the engineering marvels, Cold War tensions, and eventual cancellation of the project as the Soviet Union collapsed. A fascinating look at a forgotten chapter of nuclear deterrence and its implications in today's geopolitical climate.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The Peacekeeper had a 10 'package' bus (MIRV).

Minuteman III had a 3 warhead bus (MIRV), but they've been degraded to single shots now. (By treaty).

I'm not sure what the subs carry.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
