Well done Men! East bound and down loaded up and Truckin'! Please continue to keep us updated on its transit as you don't often get to see a turntable out on the high iron these days!
It should not be more than 2-3 weeks but we are now totally in UP hands. It is ready to move. It is not a priority load so it could be days or weeks depending upon what fits with scheduling.
I surely wish I knew as I would like to photograph it is transit!.

I'm not a railroader and don't understand why the UP would run this big load by Union two times before delivery. Can someone in the know comment?
Thanks
