Viewing Album:  Windmill blade transport From Houston
 
By:Paul Wilson
Dates:11/9/2010 - 11/9/2010
Album Info:Photos taken during clearance test at Greenspoint Terminal in Houston. Cars were stopped on the 19 degree curve to check thd overhang. Old TTX cars never die. One of these had a builder's date of 1967. You could easily see where the 5th wheel supports had been burned off the deck. I think the loco was built in 1953.
