facilities are included in the medical personnel car.
The kitchen-
dining-storage car contains a kitchen with facilities to prepare
complete meals, a dining area where meals can be served, and a
cleaning-storage area containing service sink and space for storing
supplies.
Special equipment in the foreign service fleet are cranes and
snowplows.
Cranes help in handling heavy equipment, and the snow-
handling equipment cleans ice and snow from tracks.
In addition to
its use during the winter months, this machine (also called a
spreader-ditcher car) can be used during other seasons of the year
for various track maintenance jobs.
Finally, MTMC leases a limited quantity of rail equipment
designed for both container and piggyback service for use within the
United States. Because of its great shock-absorbing capability, this
equipment may be very effective for transporting highly sensitive
weaponry.
This equipment, however, is not presently a part of the
foreign service fleet.
