Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The NASA Railroad train transports the last space shuttle solid rocket booster segments over the Indian River on the 13-mile trip from the Jay Jay Rail Yard in Titusville, Fla., to NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Six cars transported the segments along the Florida East Coast Railway, which began at the ATK solid rocket booster plant in Promontory, Utah. The booster segments will be used for shuttle Atlantis on what currently is planned as the "launch on need" flight, or potential rescue mission for the final shuttle flight, Endeavour's STS-134 mission. The launch on need flight has been designated as STS-335, which may be changed to STS-135 should an additional shuttle flight be committed. Note the "spacer cars" between each booster car, which helps distribute weight as the train crosses the Indian River bridge.
