Here are a couple of photos of a Boeing fuselage on a flat car.

Thanks for the photos. Any idea what's in the other wagons? They don't really look like anything I've seen before.

The trailing car with the smaller box on is apparently used to transport the horizontal stabilisers and part of the undercarraige. A part length box is used to leave free space for the overhanging tail section of the fuselage to swing on curves. Cars with full length boxes transport wing sections.

In a similar vein, I found this pic of a flatcar load at this website

southern.railfan.net/flat/cars/loads/loads.html

There are loads of pics of unusual loads, worth a look.

Any guesses what this is? ( a rhetorical question, if you can't tell, you'll be suprised)
