Thunder on the Old Tracks: The M60T Tank - A Cold War Warrior Sitting Pretty in

Cruising into Allenton, Wisconsin, the M60T tank on the corner of Railroad Street and 419 is a vintage reminder of America's Cold War muscle. But don't let the chill of yesteryear fool you, this tank still packs a punch.

Perched on the corner where the asphalt of Railroad Street meets 419 in Allenton, that M60T tank stands tall and proud. It's easy to see it as an old-timey remnant, heavy with history and nostalgia. But, this Cold War-era Main Battle Tank (MBT) was more than a mere history book entry – it stood as a symbol of America’s military grit during the Cold War. Consider it a '60s throwback with a Panther-like bite.
