this assembled unit still does not appear to make up the nearly 300 additional missing tons.

So you blast the reporting as bad, spout of a bunch of numbers and "facts" but then don't give us any sources for them? So we are just supposed to take what you say at face value?

Yeah,he`s King of Providence Twp.now.

Well then, there's a clear discrepancy between info sent to municipalities and media outlets. My statement was based on logistics/coordination info presented to municipalities, and based on the entire load (more relevant) at 811 tons versus the 530 ton generator alone. For the railroad and damage and and utility and traffic issues, you have to consider the vehicle and total load length (much longer than 70 feet), and 24' high.

I think the registered GVW on most highway semi's is 80,000 lbs.
