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!

Nigel, any idea when the beam will arrive a Union?

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!. Nigel

If the car numbers are known perhaps someone can track them and let us know...

The car is QTTX 132014.

So, will someone from the museum be following it? I would love to see some pics of the move...

Fascinating route. If they stick to this we have two opportunities to see it pass the museum before it actually gets delivered!. Nigel

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
