The tube itself looks to be about 10 feet tall and 70 feet long. If something was inside it, figure 6 foot diameter, and 60 feet long... The thing that is curious is the side door or square on the side.

I thought it was obvious: It's the entrance for the "walrus's".


Wait....

They used a set-up like that many years ago around here to haul powerplant generators/turbines to a small mountain town at about 6000 feet.

There a company here, I think it's GE that builds transformers and they use a rig like that to move them.

You all should have seen the truck that hauled teh nuclear reactors into Phoenix for the Palo Verde Nuke plant. Made those rigs look wimpy. It had a tree of about 6 4 speed air shifters, as well as an automatic transmission. It had a rear steer pusher, too. I heard that when it was on the road that the top speed was 5 mph, and the support crew strung out for a mile, with mechanics, welders, flag trucks, etc. Crazy stuff. Always wanted to drive somethign like that. Once.
