GREAT VIEO!
Kind'a long but worth the time.
Remember what teamwork, heavy duty equipment, and planning was involved next time you pick your 1:29 SD40 up off the track and put it on the shelf.

Quite impressive, but the video would have been greatly improved if they had employed an articulate, knowledgeable narrator.

Love the video. I imagine it took hundreds of hours of planning. I wonder if the coordination of the four cranes required significant planning and experimentation, or whether it is done often enough, all wrinkles have been worked out.
