Very true, where possible any unit will be using rail or water to transport their heavy equipment - tank tracks wear out and in 2000 they certainly don't grow on trees. Much more fuel economical too I believe.

There may not be a lot of diesel electric engines left laying about in working order (emp if nothing else would have fried them), but there's a handful of steam locomotives still about, or a conventional truck tractor may be converted to run on rails - once it's moving apparently it doesn't take a lot to keep a train going.
