Great capture Troy. Interesting how you also were able to catch the crew in the cab both looking out at the side-view mirrors to watch and check the load easing out of the tunnel.

Looks like an "ice cold one" ready for drinking!

Is there a computerized laser guided car that determines clearances for specific loads? That would seem the logical way of doing it. Or, measuring it that way upon completion of tunnel and keep specs in the tunnel data-base.

Where were you to get that great shot? I was born and raised in Chicago but did not do any rail fanning.
My friends thought that guys that liked trains were jerks.
Thanks for sharing, and best regards.

Very cool photo Troy. That is one big keg of beer! :)

I thought the train in the thumbnail was carrying a Pepsi can. Very unique picture.

These Air Products heat exchangers have been moving over this line since at least the 1970s, so clearances are very well known and established. While they may be former ATSF motors, the fact that the R&N painted them up into Reading paint is every railfans dream. They look amazing and make great stand ins for the originals.
