Ya, they had it on the news. Its a Coker for the Oil Sands expansions going on up in Ft. Mac.

I don't have any pics, but its on 132 tires just on the trailer, 1 winch tractor pulling and 4 pushing the unit down the highway. Its about 2 1/2 lanes wide, and considering most of the highway to Ft. Mac is 2 lane, there are alot of bystanders as it goes by. Pretty impressive.

Ya I searched the online papers and came up empty.

I wonder if Mullen/Premay has anything on their site? I doubt it.

Stumbled on a mention of it on another diesel site. One of the members hauls livestock up your way and he mentioned it.

I always wonder why I attract such attention down south..LOL This summer when I was in Knoxville, everyone seemed to listen really closely to what I had to say, but now I know why..

I never thought I was that interesting anyway...
