Backing Into Boeing

Another fuselage is about to be made airworthy at the Renton (WA) plant.

Whats amazing when you look at that fuselage without wings and a tail its really not that large. Can you imagine putting 150 people into an object thats the size of a flatcar and then hurl them 5 miles up in the sky and shot them along at 500 miles an hour. I was once afraid to ride Space Mountain in Disneyland but I'll get on one of Boeing's rides without thinking twice.

Log into Flightradar24.com and see how many of those little tubes (and people) are in the air at any moment...

Is this the same track that comes up from the transfer dock at Mukilteo? If not where does this line come from?

No, this line diverges from the NP (BNSF) Seattle Sub at Black River (Renton/Tukwila).

2008: A Railroad Odyssey, when trainmen looked like conductors and brakemen, rather than highway workers and British police officers.

It's hard to be fashionable out here with all this PPE.

What is the logic/economics/government interference or whatever that explains such a long distance move of the things?
