Summary[edit]

Description
English: The NASA Railroad train moves along the track through NASA Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39 Area. Behind the locomotive car is the Vehicle Assembly Building. The train is hauling the solid rocket booster segments from the STS-122 mission. After a mission, the spent boosters are recovered, cleaned, disassembled, refurbished and reused after each launch. After hydrolasing the interior of each segment, they are placed on flatbed trucks. The individual booster segments are transferred to a railhead located at the railroad yard. The covered segments will be moved to Titusville for interchange with Florida East Coast Railway to begin the trip back to the Thiokol plant in Wasatch, Utah.
