I thought I would share these recently acquired vintage Kodacolor prints of one of the crawler transporters. They were taken in February 1967, just after the Apollo 1 spacecraft fire.

Crawler Transporter 1 hauled SA-500F and Apollo 17 out to the pad. Crawler Transporter 2 hauled Apollo 14 and Skylab 1 out to the pad.
Can you add to the list?

Here is a set of photos and diagrams of the crawler transporter from the Library of Congress.

Does anyone have or know of a list of which crawler-transporters rolled out which Saturn missions? This would include AS-500F through Apollo-Soyuz Test Project.

And keep in mind that AS-500F and Apollo 16 were each rolled out twice.

I am aware of slight differences in the boarding ladders and signage between CT-1 and CT-2, but are there any serialization stencils or other recognition features between the two?
Not sure this will help, since clear view of the CT is obscured by the ML platform in most photos.

I did note in the survey photos that the cab is stenciled CT-1 and CT-2 in relatively small lettering.
Still looking for a list if anyone has one.

This is some video I shot back in 2000. We go throughout the interior and up on the top where the Mobile Launch Platform for Apollo Saturn V and later the Space Shuttle stacks are mounted and taken out to the launch pad. Enjoy!
