    While "out and about" saw a BNSF manifest waiting for track clearance with some kind of shiny bluish-green cars at the head end. Well, my curiosity's piqued, so I gotta go see. Here's what I find:

    And a little tighter in on one of the cars:

    As I recall, there were five of them altogether, followed by the normal collection of assorted cars. And for the detail oriented, this was northbound on the Joint Line in Fountain, CO.

    Seems like a fair number of fusilages have been reported on the move lately.

    Any way to find out where the train, or at least the cars, will head next?
    My luck, through town, in middle of the night, while I sleep!!
    I've seen a couple of these trains in town. Included a single locomotive
    And maybe 6-8 cars. Headed north.
    Thanks.

    Now that's an interesting load. :cool:

    They look like 737 fuselages, with the protective plastic film still on the aluminum. Probably going for assembly elsewhere or some other work.

    Or it's a better way for air travel.:teeth:

    These are Boeing fuselages moving from Wichita, KS where they are made to, I believe, Kent, WA where they are assembled into planes.

    Not Kent, Renton WA, I would see these roll through the middle of town all the time.
