Believe many highway bridges could not take 500 plus tons {plus trailer load}, etc....even if it would fit through many problem areas. Hopefully enough realization will occur before all rail lines are done away with in the future.

What is it though. It's a very large chemical reactor vessel for a petroleum refinery. The cabeese are part of the consist associated with the move, and not with the railroad. A Schnabel move like this takes a large crew (not train crew). Note the cupola in front of the car (crew member up top looking for vertical clearance and hazards) and bay windows behind it (side clearance). There is also a crew in the doghouses on the Schnabel controlling it, because the load can be moved sideways on the car through a set of hydraulics--these are VERY sophisticated pieces of rolling stock. Look closely on the linked photos at the move's website for the meet down below Temple, where it appears they have swung the reactor to the side away from the train in the hole: http://perroux.us/pages/reactor.html Reply Edit Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Friday, April 1, 2005 8:34 PM It playes on Windows Media Player.
