The RR guy in Salina gave me bad info on the transformer. It is going to Limon, CO , and not Engery,and interchanged to the KYLE and then taken to Genoa. CO to the windfarm there. When I first seen it, I figured it was probably going to Limon so I asked a switchman there and that was what he told me. upkpfan Date: 11/29/12 12:45 Re: Surprises in Salina, KS today Author: tolland Great pics, Marv! Heavy load for the Kyle. It would be interesting to see how they unload it.

<It would be interesting to see how they unload it.> Very carefully. Probably the same company that unloaded the one here will be unloading that one. I watched them here and after they got everything set up, it took less than 10 minutes and it was on the truck trailer. pretty neat. upkpfan |
