Интересная цитата из статьи о приключениеях американцев по доставке танков в Македонию:
Then came the bad news. Officials from Bulgaria notified us that two tunnels southwest of the capital city of Sofia were too small to allow the M1 tanks to pass. What had been a promising concept to slash deployment times appeared to have a fatal flaw. Without the ability to get our largest and most powerful combat vehicle to Macedonia, the use of an Eastern European rail route was now questionable.
.......Perhaps there was a way to rail everything except the M1's all the way to Skopje. If so, the tanks could be offloaded somewhere relatively nearby in Bulgaria and moved by heavy equipment transporters (HET's) overland to Camp Able Sentry.
