1.4-million-pound nuclear generator moved from Port of Charleston (video)





The three-day journey of a 1.4-million-pound nuclear generator from the Port of Charleston to Jenkinsville is recorded on a new video released by Westinghouse Nuclear.

Westinghouse had to bring its 36-axle "schnabel" rail car to the Columbus Street Terminal in Charleston to haul the behemoth cargo to the new reactors being

added to the V.C. Summer Nuclear Station by Moncks Corner-based Santee Cooper and Cayce-based South Carolina Electric and Gas.

A schnabel is a special freight car built to haul heavy and oversized loads by rail.
