In the 1930's a similar rig was used to move the Pyrex glass mirror blank for the 200 inch Mt. Palomar telescope from the Corning Glass works (New York State, I believe) across to southern California, where the mirror was ground and polished before finally being moved up the mountain by truck convoy. They stood the disc on its edge, and if my memory is correct they built a case around it with bulletproof armour plate in addition to the suspension mechanism. They took very indirect route because the high load would not fit most bridge clearances of the time. It was quite a job, and I imagine it must have looked as impressive as this. I'm sure there's some old cinema B&W film in some press archive showing its departure or arrival, but I've never seen it, just still photos. It was quite a load, even by today's standards. A guy named Ronald Florence wrote quite a good book about the whole project, "The Perfect Machine: Building the Palomar Telescope" in 1995. Corning developed a special mixture of Pyrex glass that had a very low rate of thermal expansion/contraction, and the blank was poured into a mold with a complex reinforcing structure on the bottom (rear) side. They poured the glass using ladles suspended from an overhead track, which took about 14-15 hours. There is film of parts of that job - it's amazing to watch.

Dept of Defense has double articulated nuclear fuel rod rail cars built along the Illinois river at Marseilles about 1991 / 1992 for Navy. 300 witnessed the strength test imposed by placing massive pressure atop. Springs were temporarily replaced with pipe nipples. Not even any deflection with dial indicators at various underside locations. Good design, good weding and workmanship. Years later came thru Elyria, Ohio where local meat head wanted to protest on the track at the publicly announced time of 5 AM and 25 MPH. Navy arrived at 2 AM, 80 MPH. At that time these were largest rail cars.

Automation. One task was to monitor the string of cars for hot boxes, resulting from the oil soaked "mop" that lubricated the axle-brass to reduce friction. When the oil got too low, it heated and burned. Now roller bearings greatly reduced that. Also there are now trackside heat detectors that record every wheel set of every train. Another task was to monitor the air pressure at the last car on the train. That is now done by a remote sensor which tells the engineer what the pressre is.

They are watching... Satellite and aircraft follow this fuel. Extremely high radiation risk gamma etc. I loaded several for DOE with 200 ton crane which went on a barge to France to get reprocessed..

DOE has nothing to do with is as there are no fissile materials in this shipment. Security isn't needed.

This is certainly NOT a "nuclear" train. Just an overweight, oversize cargo. Nuclear cargo would of had plenty of security.

Security and engineering personnel need to have clear lines of site on a payload of nuclear waste from all angles and at all times. The consequences of a containment beach of a spent reactor fuel vessel could very easily make most of the world's reactor meltdowns look like small bonn fires.

@@MrRandalfscott Sorry, wrong in all respects. There is no security, and no serious radiological consequences or hazard even if the container were to bust wide open. The most dangerous thing about this shipment is its 770 ton mass. No spent fuel in this shipment.

Why? You can't steal something that heavy. You can't damage it or blow it up. It's just a large empty mildly radioactive steel cylinder. Derailing the car would be expensive, but not hazardous.
