Boeing 737 fusalage on a rail car
its the only wat that the cars can go, there was 2 bridges that were too
small for tem to travel through..... "fannum" wrote in message ... "Terry M" wrote in message news:yfGdnTKXjdVNH4fbnZ2dnUVZ_oGlnZ2d@insightbb. com... This picture was posted by Glen Beans in a.b.p.rail as BNSF car 800117_2007-04-08_Aurora, NE I'm in KC, and these fuselages are in our yards all the time. They come from Spirit in Wichita, old Boeing plant. Renton builds wings and assembles them. Paint shop is also there. At times in the past, you'd see bunches of these green 737s lined up on Boeing field in Seattle, obviously with engines and all assembled. Still haven't got an answer why since that's their smallest field. Big question is why the railroad moves them NE from Wichita, then north to Omaha, before going across Nebraska and west to Seattle. Maybe we ought to by the train guys a compass! Cheers, Bob |

Good answer and thanks. Where are the bridge/tunnels? Colorado? Still a bit surprised as the CO Rocky routes are more heavily traveled, and the northern rail routes are VERY rugged. (and scenic, well worth the train trip.) Cheers, Bob |
