- Neil_BaumgardnerThat should be correct. The M26 Dragon Wagon's trailer was the M15.

- bsmartMaybe we can approach the date from another angle
Can anyone ID the car in the background. I know my monitor here at work doesn't do detail real well but The headlights look like they may be the rectangular ones that were first introduced in 1975 (If I remember right) Some GM cars had the grill designed for the rectangular lights in teh 74 models but when they were not approved intime had inserts that used round lights. I am sure teh car is a GM but am unsure of it being a Olds, Buick or Pontiac. but id'ing the year of the car would give us a 'no earlier than' date.
- TumbleweedThis looks to me like it is a three axle trailer behind the tractor. The trailer has a 5th wheel mounted on it and another three axle trailer is hooked to it. This is common in 'heavy haul' operations.
- Roy_A_LingleHi Folks!
We now have two new items to add to my time line.
A photo taken at Ft. Knox, sometime mid 1970s.
Newspaper article reporting a T-28 found at Ft. Belvoir in 1975.

The newspaper article is technically specifically referring to a T30, no mention of the T28 - other than that the T30 was "one of five U.S. armored vehicles 'discovered' in 1975 at Fort Belvoir." I dont think its too much of a stretch to believe that the T28 was also one of those five.
I may try to see if I can dig up some old Belvoir Castle articles from '75.

Old Castle articles? Is that possible?

Yes, apparently the Belvoir library has back issues. I may try to get over there to dig through them... When I dont know...

Hi Neil!
If you should by chance ran acrossed the article I remember from 1983/84, I would love to get a copy of it if it's NOT MUCH trouble and cost much.
If they should have an online data base, please let me, I would love to dig through it.
Maybe an even older copy might have a story about the arrival of the T-28 at Belvoir and want it was going to be used for.
I enlisted the help of some buddies on an automotive board, and a guy with a '71 Cutlass ID'ed the car as as a '75-'77 Cutlass.- bsmartThe headlights look like they may be the rectangular ones that were first introduced in 1975 (If I remember right)
