Following the Three Mile Island Generators

In anticipation of tomorrows move, we went to see what was going on with the generators that are being towed to Three Mile Island and are now within three miles of my home.

The pair of huge cranes with cables that will support the Conestoga River bridge as the generators are transported across this bridge on their next leg of the journey. This road has been closed for the past month as PennDot prepared the roads and bridges for this event.


The two turbine generators are now parked at the Rock Hill Tavern, where many of the patrons park when they visit this establishment for the great beer and sandwiches this 200 year old tavern is known for.



These next photos are of the generators.




It was a beautiful day today. We couldn't just drive up to the generators, but parked a few hundred feet away and walked to the tavern and the generators.


The generators are accompanied by their envoy of police, and transporters including the travel trailers for the folks with them.
