Impressive picture!  I don't have any pictures to share, but these same
cars are used to move large electrical transformers around the country.
Since substations are not always located by major rail lines, even with
36 wheels to 'lighten the load' it is not unusual to have to make road
improvements, especially to bridges & trestles, for some of these
shipments.

Look for this car to come down your favorite N&W mainline.  If you built
a model car with 18 trucks, your friends would think that you were
fantasizing.
