I'm glad a couple guys could help identify the place....as I had no clue. But I do know where the M1A1 main battle tank is built and rebuilt.....just a couple hours from my house....a city called Lima, Ohio. I have been by the place a number of times.....back in 1987 and 88 I went to college in a small town just a short drive from Lima, and on the way in to the mall, would drive by the Lima Tank Works (or whatever the place is called).

Tim, the Military Channel did a profile of this company and followed a tank hull sent for refurbishing from the moment it was unloaded off of the train until the final lap of the "new" tank on the test track. Very interesting on
how they did it and the movement of the components within the plant.

I worked at Red River Army Depot in Texas as a journeyman mechanic when they used to rebuild the M-113 family of armored vehicles. I think Anniston in Alabama has that now. My favorite job out there was taking the newly rebuilt vehicle off the assembly line, test driving it and then fixing everything I found wrong with it.

You can virtually go there as a traindriver and shove those wagons onto the mainline:
