No way can that be considered discrete. It is about a lane and a half wide and has more axles than a GM assembly plant! While it is possible to move such a large/heavy load by highway, my friends in the oversize transport business indicate that it could only average about 40 to 60 miles per day. dd Reply spbed Member sinceDecember 2001 From: Austin TX 4,941 posts Posted by spbed on Thursday, April 21, 2005 11:36 AM In my day it was called "hi & wide" loads. Naturally it could only move on double track when no train was on the other track. [:o)] Originally posted by dldance Living nearby to MP 186 of the UPRR Austin TX Sub Reply Join our Community!
