these are traveling from Maryland to the the TMI nuc plant via these huge ass transporters:





each of these units, there are 2, weigh in at 510 tons each and are traveling at 3 miles per hour.

 

Ahhh.. A little bit of PVC tubing, some bondo, and a case of ball bearings and I could make you one of these in a week....

 

FAG ioli eh?

 

Awesome! How long is their journey?

 

what can you say, it was a french company that made these things...they are nearing the end of a 20 day 75 mile journey from Port Deposit MD to Three Mile Island, Middletown PA.

these are some of the first pictures I shot in the RAW format...

 

That's a really neat story.. Can't imagine many of our roads were designed to sustain a 500 ton load. And I definitely hope they don't have many bridges to cross...

 

if they did, they used these temp bridges to help take the load:

 

nice of you to point that out....

 

i know i lawls

 

510 tons each? That's nearly double the max take-off weight of a Boeing 777!!!

I didn't believe it but I found the fact sheet and you are indeed correct. 845 tons total for the trailer/transport and generator! 30,000+ lbs per axle!
