It is really impressive to see a "blade train" as it rolls down the tracks. Those blades are the length of roughly three flat cars. The ends of the blades are supported by frames that can slide along the flatcar to accommodate turns as the train moves. These blades are starting the journey on the Joint Line just before sunset after coming south on the Front Range Sub earlier in the day.
