Keep a look out for the Beluga Endurance coming back. Apparently one of the Class 70s (70012) have been dropped 21ft at one end and is been returned to the builder.
What happened was they unloaded the rest successfully then when it came to the last one (70012) the Crane failed and one end of the logo dropped 21ft and is now been returned.
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately they won't be coming back to Erie as the St. Lawrence Seaway is closed. Probably will come to an east coast port.
Is the seaway closed permently or closed due to weather. Ship has yet to leave UK yet due to investigations.
Closed for the winter due to weather. Will reopen in March.
The bent Class 70 has been unloaded in Newport and put on the lowloader. Not sure where its going like.
The Seaway close every year around dec 24th untill spring due to ice
