Oh, yeah. See these heading down the road here too. I've gotta find a windmill farm!

Incredible load! Compliments to your wife for spotting it! How odd that Laryl saw the same blades on a train today too...

what timing to see this today.. I saw a HUGE (LONG) train that was hauling these blades just this afternoon. There were 2 blades on each train platform but they overhung and took 3 total to ride on/hover over. I have no clue how many there were, the train went on forever into the distance.

Oversize indeed. Great find.
