Most of you know I'm a trucker, but after 15 years of driving, this has been my biggest challenge. Took 12 hours to move this railcar 290 miles @16'5" high, 106' long, 120,000lbs Now their talking about putting me on a 13 axle rig.....oh boy!

Hey Hans nice rig! The red and white color scheme looks familiar, is that R.J. Corman? Not to bust your bubble, but I move hundreds of various railcars everyday...here's a little secret, it's a lot easier when they're still on the rail. Was that one in a derailment or sold off for scrap?
Ya, it was a derailment, going to repair shop. Was loaded with soybeans....what a mess. Company is Guy M. Turner from Greensboro NC _________________ York SC /1979 GMC Caballero / 350 Roller / Alum Heads / 410 posi
Moving this heavy stuff has to be scary. Look what happen this spring here in Cincinnati: Train Hits Overpass

Lots of trust in the front pole car helps. Can't be in any hurry, and staying on permited route is a must! _________________ York SC /1979 GMC Caballero / 350 Roller / Alum Heads / 410 posi
