Speaking of nuclear trains, spent fuel waste is regularly transported by rail in the UK to the Sellafield storage facility in Cumbria. They use civilian tracks through urban areas.

No we are not talking about Spent fuels being transported by Rail based or Road Based Transport Network passing through Civilian tracks.

We are talking about Live Nuke Warheads Mounted on Missile's, being hidden inside a train and transported across the length and breadth of the Coutry.

Tranporting Spent Fuels using a Rail Based Network that passes through Civilian tracks would not present that kind of Security related issues as Live Nuke Warheads mated on a Missile Platform, ready to fire as retaliatory second strike.

The two are entirely different and lets not compare them

Going off topic. Yes I apologise for that.

Comparing? No. I'm aware of the differences.

The pics whether authentic or not, clearly isn't Indian. IR doesn't have these features.

When I saw "SSG Photo" and the colour scheme I for a moment thought it might be our green friends from across the border, but then dismissed that thought when I took in the level of infrastructure. Then I thought this might be Russian, given the amount of snow all around, but then the letter on the train would have been Cyrillic instead of Roman...

So, where are these pics from?
