This Boeing 737 fuselage is on its way from Wichita to Renton to get its wings.
This new Boeing 737 fuselage was transported on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail as seen here on the bridge above Seaview Avenue Northwest just west of the Ballard Locks Sunday afternoon.
According to Boeing spokespersons, the fuselage, and two others like it on the same train, were enroute from Spirit Aerosystems in Wichita, Kansas to the Boeing plant in Renton.
Gus Melonas is spokesperson for BNSF. He said the fuselages are bulkier than most other loads on freight cars, but not necessarily greater in weight than most other loads.
"Because of the fuselages' large dimensions, our trains are specially equipped and designed to transport them here from Wichita," Melonas said.
