BNSF hauls these Boeing fuselages from the plant somewhere in the Midwest to Boeing's "Final" assembly plant in Washington State. You can find these unique loads on the head end of Auto Racks, Intermodal, and Manifest trains. In about 25 days from the date the photo was taken, the plane will be flying 5 miles above the Earth at about 500mph.

Until now, I only saw the HO models. This is too cool.
