High/Wide Train Through Brainerd, Minnesota

A special train containing turbine/generator components for a project at the ENMAX Shepard Energy Centre in Calgary, Alberta passes through Brainerd, Minnesota about 20 minutes before sunrise on May 9, 2012. The components were offloaded from the Clipper Gemini at the port of Duluth, Minnesota and at the time were the widest rail loads ever handled out of Duluth.
This was a Canadian Pacific train using BNSF tracks between Duluth and the Canadian border at Noyes, Minnesota. The BNSF symbol was J-DULNOY1-08A.

I figured the power would be swapped out, cool that they kept the 40's on it.
