Joe Magruder General Of course, I'd be gone from home that day and not see it. 3/30/2008 1:32:51 PM
Kim Piersol General Nice shot!! 3/30/2008 4:17:52 PM
David Mead General You were lucky to get this one? Our railways in UK are too narrow and low loading gauged to ever contemplate such loads. Regretably such loads go by road in UK and generally cause mahem! Very good record Zach. 3/31/2008 5:07:03 AM
