Saw a 148 wheeler (highway) rig today !!!!
P.S. If that WAS an E60C or equivalent loco like their other ones, its
weight is typically between 185 and 195 U.S. tons (plus or minus a few
pounds... :) If you add the weight of the two tractors, the "jeeps", the
carrier beam... Man, I don't want to think what the total weight of that rig
was. How do get a rating to drive something like that? It's not like there's
much opportunity to practice! Wish I could have seen it...

Any pictures?

Perhaps there is a URL w/photos published by the power company, locomotive or trucking company.

I'd look, but don't know what to ask for.
