Hi
I watched the video,, ya the moving contractor had a tough time getting into the driveway of train mountain, with the body of the diesel..

Then backing the unit into the display area,, was also a challenge, the contractor made his money on moving this piece of historical equipment, and doing very little damage, to train mountains ground line track.
If you have not watched the video,, then take a look,, Pat.

I rode that engine back in early 1971 or 2 with a really fine bunch of rails. We took a long train of empties out to the transfer and came back with an even 80 loads behind the 3 Baldwins. Three of the gents went back to the days of steam.

These movers were good; they knew what they were doing. The entrance at the destination was difficult but it went as planned. They went slowly to make sure thr reality was as smooth as the plan.

I didn't see them but there would be guys with wood poles with crossarms at the very top to push wires up.
