This two lane wide load has been all over the local news. From Ohio right past Keystone and a friend got some pictures 1/2 mile from the track. Furnace hood for a local steel mill.

When they still had intentions of launching The Space Shuttle from So. Vandenberg AFB they had to do some major earth moving along the routes the Shuttle may have had to use to reach it's launch complex. When it's loaded on a low-bed behind a power unit it does take up quite a bit of roadway and road shoulders on a 2 lane highway. Slopes had to be cut back. Signs had to be moved :realcrazy: .
 
Since i spent most of my adult life working in the transportation industry stuff like that is somewhat normal to me .. I've been involved with probably 2 million loads in my life .

Lots of stories , some funny, some unbelievable some shocking and sad ..
 
US Steel Mon Valley Works
This is where I work.

I’m assuming that will get all the brickwork and Ramming in-plant. I bid bricklayer helper as my first bid back in the late 1970’s. I worked in maintenance 98% of my 33 years became it was steadier work.

That would have been rough work! My dad was a chainmen at Mesta Machine before they shut down, not much fun either.
