Calum's video: The World s Largest Overland Vehicles - LeTourneau s Land Trains

UPDATE - I went to see one of these IRL! https://youtu.be/KpWv68xECrY In the mid to late 50s and early 60s, a series of innovative and unique vehicles were tested in both the punishing arctic north as well as the boiling deserts of Yuma, Arizona. Some fo the longest and largest vehicles ever built, they were as strange and uniue as they were revolutionary. But who built these vehicles, why were they made and where are they now?
