Wow! First time I have seen that much overhang. As long as the center of gravity is vertical over each end all they got to worry about is taking out poles, buildings and anything over 5 ft tall.

Wow great pictures,

Helluva load.
I like the company guy shootin' video...just in case something "goes south." (CYA?)
Great shots. Thanks for the post.

Looks like these guys will cut any corner in order to get the job done. Very nice photo essay. AA

I remember seeing some shots of what I think was the same load on its way to Kansas on the Western board a few months ago, but those photos were of the load on straight track. These photos give a entirely new perspective. Thanks for posting.

Same Schnabel car, different load to a different destination.

This is the same load that went to Kansas back at the end of August. It came out of Canada and went to Frontier Refining in El Dorado, Kansas.

It went through Battle Creek, Michigan, on August 25/26 toward Chicago.
