I'm just doing my job ... ;-) Here are at least 2 other (but not really more interesting) photos: http://www.mtnwestrail.com/roadtrip/aug0999c.htm And here's what you also find when searching for "plane fuselage train" on Google Images: http://railwaysofbritain.bravehost.com/Bennierailplane.html Has anyone seen this before? Thanks, cookie monster! I’m just doing my job … ;-)

Good work! They are surprisingly small arent they and almost look as if they were designed to fit on a railway carriage (like the rockets in the link you posted - fascinating stuff!)? EAF - the track doesnt go underground. That section of track is abandoned and you can trace the route as it goes through the town and off into the country. Al – go to the top of the class! Good work!

Yes these are B737 bodies but they do not come from Everett WA. For nearly 40 years, the airframe for the Boeing 737 has been assembled in Wichita, loaded on trains, and hauled to the Pacific Northwest to get its wings in Renton. They pass Boeing Field in Seattle southbound to get to Renton Field...In Renton. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/16/AR2006041600803.html Signed FAA Controller RNT, PAE and BFI Check your facts!

I found this: http://gordonwatts.wordpress.com/2006/06/28/737-the-next-generation/ By the way, some nice story about something else that large being transported by train: http://www.astrodigital.org/space/stshorse.html It is a great honor for me to be among those capable of handling Google.

Sounds like a trashy film starring Samuel L Jackson! The follow up to Snakes on a Plane maybe? Anyone got any ground level shots of a plane on a train? Come on kids - get googling! Would love to see this. Here in Britain our once great railway system is so f**ked up that its cheaper to transport new trains by road than it is to run them over tracks so you often see trains on the back of lorries (or semis to you Yanks - as we have now firmly established!). 100 British rail sandwiches to some who finds a train on a lorry!
