Some real net stuff above. Hard to beat! <br />Coincidently Eric, I was just going to say that probably the most unique load that I have seen is a shipment from Seemens/Westinghouse. I assume it came from their plant in Hamilton Ontario. <br />I wonder if it was the same thing you mention above? <br />It looked like a generator for a large turbine unit. It was shrink wrapped in plastic, with Seemens name on it. It was mounted on a HEAVY duty , low slung flat car. There were probably 10 or 12 axles to the car. Behind it was an ugly painted caboose with Westinghouse painted on it. The windows were covered up, so I do not know if it was manned or not. <br />There was just the CN loco, the falt car and the caboose. <br />Acutually, I have seen this go by here twice. Going from east to west. Probably Hamilton to the tunnel at Sarnia / Port Huron. <br /> <br />Like the other guys, I have also seen a few a few flat cars with armoured personal carriers on rubber wheels going east from the GM plant in London, where they are made. These were also shrink wrapped in plastic for security. <br /> <br />
