A little "Intelligence"(?) on the WECX 801...a friend sent me a small update. The car is probably enroute to Charleston, SC, if not already there. From <!-- e --><a href="mailto:tomd_travel@yahoo.com">tomd_travel@yahoo.com</a><!-- e --> :
"The new car will be heading to Charleston in July. There are two nuclear power plants under construction in South Carolina and Georgia. Units 3 and 4 are being added to the Volgle plant in Georgia (construction photos <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.southerncompany.com/nuclearenergy/photos.aspx">http://www.southerncompany.com/nucleare ... hotos.aspx</a><!-- m --> ), and two new units at the Summer plant. This schanbel car will be used to move the reactors and steam generators from the port of Charleston (my guess) to the plants."
...am trying to locate the car now...if it's gone, I missed the passing. :oops: New Castle (PA) News says WECX 800 (ex-CEBC 800) & WECX 801 left the plant 8/17 for NS transport from Mahoningtown to Charleston, SC... http://www.ncnewsonline.com/local/x94618...aving-city Maybe someone can find (and perhaps photo) the monster in transit or working?
