Just found another photo of it taken during testing at the US Army's Yuma, Arizona Proving Grounds. Apparently the front Control Unit is still on display there. Not sure about any of the trailers. Four gas turbine engines powered the generators and all 54 wheels were driven. It could haul a full load of nearly 250 long tons at 20 mph cross country.
