Interesting thing is I bought the MS Train simulator, and an add on, by a third party called "Donner Pass" that simulates the steam age going over the Serrias in the '40s and '50s, in the load out are flat cars are LCVPs and M4s being shipped to the west coast for the Marines.  They look just the same!
