We have the pleasure of living right along the route that the steam generators took to get to TMI. The day they went past we were priviledged to have some of our family and lots of neighbors and other people, with nothing else to do that day, come and watch all the fuss.
The whole process was quite incredible and the size of these things...WOW...they were huge. I think the most humorous thing for me that day was seeing that they had a car(2nd picture) that state that there was an "OVERSIZE LOAD" coming. I found that quite ironic...because if you had listened to the news on the radio, tv, whatever, in the last couple of weeks you knew it was coming and also the "car" was preceded on the road by an entourage of vehicles taking up both lanes, and not to mention the flocks of people lined along the road. I am pretty sure that the "car" wasn't really needed. Well my irony was crushed by the little bit of "blondeness" in me, I realized later the car was actually serving a purpose that I didn't notice at first, it had a vertical pole attached to the front to make sure all the wires were high enough. Even so...I don't really think it needed to advertize that there was an OVERSIZE LOAD coming...but that's just me. I am also including a link to the video Neil posted on facebook. Enjoy!
