A freight train was seen carrying dozens of U.S. tanks in Kansas the day before President Joe Biden announced he would send 31 M1 Abrams to Ukraine.

Footage filmed on Jan. 24 shows the tank-laden train approximately one mile west of Gorham on Highway 40.

The train is also carrying other armored vehicles, including personnel carriers.

The U.S., UK and Germany have all approved sending tanks to help the war effort in Ukraine.

Oilfield contractor Eddie Johnson, who captured the moment, said: "I have no idea where they were heading.

"I just found it hilarious that I had just read about Biden possibly sending tanks, and then see a massive train full of them."

The U.S. Department of Defense has been contacted for comment.
