In keeping with Zardoz' thread last week I thought I'd open this up. If you had submitted a shot for Vol 167 and it didn't get selected feel free to share it here if you wish.
I'll go first.

Rats! I didn't even think of the shots I had from up there. Oh well.
BTW, I like the placement of the "Do Not Enter" sign right in front of the train.
No rats, but some tails...

Yes, the blades stretch across 1 1/2 flat cars each, it's quite a production to load a train up I bet.
If you would like, I can put some more shots up tonight.
I submitted this recent shot of a BNSF coal train entering a tunnel in the Columbia gorge.

Very nice photos, Ed. Thanks.
I wonder if the railroad puts any restrictions of transporting those when there is high winds. They sure look light and have a large cross-section.
I don't know about restrictions, but the CN RTC made sure he had all of the paperwork for the "Dimensional" Loads before he let them pull.
The blades seem pretty well secured but I could see how a cross-wind could cause some real troubles.
And, yes, those are wood bulkheads. and they seemed to be using them as buffers between the generator boxes.
