A semi pulling a large boiler sits in Twig on Tuesday afternoon. The entire unit -- consisting of two tractors, two flatbed trailers and the boiler -- extended 350 feet and weighed 885,000 pounds. The boiler came from Lincoln, Neb., to Duluth, where it will be loaded on a ship.
The oversized load originated in Lincoln, Neb., and has crossed from the prairie to the north woods on a 20-axle trailer.
When it arrives at the port, the 442-ton boiler is set to be offloaded onto the dock and loaded by crane onto the oceangoing vessel Erik. The Erik was bound for Duluth on Tuesday after stopping in Thunder Bay. An oceangoing saltie, the Erik is taking the boiler only as far as Sarnia, Ontario, on the southern tip of Lake Huron.
