Sno-Train in Greenland 1956

The Sno-Train arrived in Greenland in June 1956. It was being tested in extreme conditions. The Army Transportation Corps was looking at how the Sno-Train performed in the cold Arctic terrain. The Army was also testing how the huge Firestone 120x48x68 tires performed. During the Sno-Train’s time in Greenland, it was also tested with a variety of other trailers and load configurations. The image below were captured between June and December 1956. One year earlier, R. G. LeTourneau visited Greenland to see firsthand how the Sno-Buggy was performing with its dual stacked Firestone tires.
