Question
Can anyone guess the cost for this move? This was not a very long distance haul.
Please offer your estimates.
- Double cranes at each end of the trip for loading and unloading. $5,000 for each

Last week, I received photos of the Schnabel Car (3600) being cut up for scrap. That leaves the 3601 which has never hauled a load due to mechanical issues: Bad welds, 80% of the welds failed testing

The recent Schnabel load discussed. Nothing special but recaps obvious and some details of future highway move towards Clive UT.

Two corrections;
The skid weighs 7 tons. So add that to the total weight I listed.
The Las Vegas paper said diameter was 19' 5", Orange County Register said 15' 5".

FYI;
Cylinder on load was 19' 5". Standard RR clearance is 16'.
A couple of inches were shaved off the cylinder sides to clear some thru truss bridge (Mojave narrows?). Night photo in with Las V

Schnabel car after the upgrades in Georgia in 2014 is good for 1,800,000 pounds total. I don't think the SONGs reactor met the maximum load. So, the weight overall was somewhere under 1,800,000.

Which one weighed more, the fully loaded Big Boy 4014, or the recently moved decommissioned nuclear reactor vessel using the Schnabel car?

It' not a nuclear cask.
It's a really old reactor vessel from unit #1 decommissioned in 1992, rods removed and shielded by the cylinder.
