I am working on completing my feature on rail deployed ICBMs and came across this video on the M65 Atomic Cannon. Note that it was hauled by rail before being moved by "prime movers." Bottom line; if these had been used in Europe on advancing Soviet troops, their redness would have referred to their radiation burns, and not their political inclinations.
