Union Pacific's Locomotive 4141 George Bush Train
This heavy haul load was carried out by one of the industries top performers, Supor Heavy Haul and Logistics out of Houston, Texas one of the many Supor group of companies. The job scope was to take Union Pacific's Locomotive 4141 George Bush Train from the rail site in Bryan College Station, lift it with 2 Liebherr cranes off the tracks to place it on Supor's hydraulic transport trailer. It would then be transported to the pad site at the Presidential Museum and Library at Texas A&M. Once the load arrives at the museum it would then be moved off the trailer with a gantry crane and placed onto it's final resting place where it will be on display for all to see.
The total load was 315,000 lbs 74'3" Long, 10'4" wide and 15'11" high with 4 lifting points. The load is massive to say the least.
Each crane taking the locomotive off the tracks has a capacity of 500 Tons. They will place the train onto a hydraulic lift transport trailer that can carry up to 36 metric tons per line and the trailer is 12 lines also known as 12 axles. The gantry crane being used at the museum is a 1000 ton gantry crane with electronic trollies. This crane is very precise and can lift almost anything.
