Those look like 50 foot flat cars, so probably about 150 foot long blades.

I just love these historical photos. Note the tracks laying in the ditch and some already disassembled.

Why would they unload in Duluth if final destination is California? Wouldn’t it have been much easier to unload on Cali coast?

Very interesting how mounted so can go around corners.
