Between 1953 and 1961, R. G. LeTourneau built six Overland Trains. These enormous trackless rubber-tired trains were designed to reduce logistics limitations on undeveloped or non-existent roads. They could carry heavy loads over sand, jungle, and the snow and ice. When President Eisenhower announced the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line development in 1954, R. G. LeTourneau, Inc. started developing Overland Trains for an Artic environment.
