For you railroad and aviation fans, here's a novel way to ship an aircraft fuselage from one assembly plant to the next;
Seen in Phillips, Nebraska in March of 2010 on a Burlington Northern Santa Fe spur is one of a number of flat cars specially modified for use by the Boeing Aircraft Company to transport its nearly finished bodies for final assembly.
Notice the heavy steel collar that protects the aircraft from peripheral damage during transit.
While I'm no expert in the matter, the plane appears to be an extended length 737 although I do stand corrected on this point.

I wonder what model jet this is for. Can't be a 747 or 767 or 777 since they are wider. Don't think its long enough for a 757. That leaves the 737 as the only hunch.
Great find though. Thanks for sharing. |
