Nice catch Ross. Im impressed that fit through the Ballard Bridge and even ITY!!! Seems like the 737 fuselage has enough clearence problems.

Thanks Mike, The Proto was made in Japan, and is too big to make it through the Seattle tunnel, and a number of overpasses between Seattle and Mukilteo. So they put the section on a barge and ship it to the Port of Everett. From there BNSF takes it under 1 pedestrian overpass (Howarth Park), which was made extra high just for this reason.

There is something about odd loads that's interesting I guess. You can see the rest of the pictures I took during my lunch break, including a few side shots of the fuselage at http://www.railroadforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8699 Please stop emailing me, all the pictures I took are on this site. : ) Enjoy,
