This video should be the Gold Standard for: both Narration & Videography - as each individually, and collectively, professionally presented an extremely interesting and informative action, that was both difficult (to the extreme) and massive, in such a way as to be used as an example for others doing this.
Excellent video, but for a piece weighing in at under 200 ton, why the overkill with the dual lane Aspen at '345? A beam trailer with 2 12 line goldhofers would of sufficed yes?
It was necessary to pass engineering load analysis on all of the structures along the way. Yes a lot of them would have passed with a smaller trailer, but it wouldn't make sense logistically to swap trailers just for a few weaker structures. Trust me when I say, all options were considered.
@Pika_ediz ok unnightmare! I'm sure at that length and with all the dollies, your axle ratings were below or close to what NYSDOT wanted.We're looking at moving 2, 500 ton transformers here on long island. The logistics are a nighmare!

This was a fun move. Slow but fun and eveyone was great to work with
Hated having to help build that. Love seeing what it did tho.
Give General Electic in Schenectady credit for building this..
you don't DRIVE this you PILOT THIS WITH A TEAM OF PROS!!!!!
i want a job here by all means this rally interests me!
i live near the Schenectady plant where that turbine was built

that sunbelt light plant was really hanging on for the ride
Sweet I was one of the witnesses of this amazing load
Every hill we went up left black marks from all the weight
I wonder how much money they made. Was that over $2 per mile? 😆😆
$1.95 plus fuel surcharge
They had to be making good money. Because it took us a week to get it to Scranton and our company got paid 80k just to lift lines up

Great video but Terrible editing.
