World's 2 Largest Railcars together for very first time

Received the following information and photos via email.  Photos are by Vince F. Skibo. 

Here are four pictures of WECX 800 and 801, the worlds largest railcars, sitting on Kasgro yard lead in New Castle, PA, on 8-16-12.  Over 3.76 million pounds of load-carrying capacity...in just TWO railcars! Cars now en route to the Carolinas for Westinghouse Nuclear vessel loads.
