Massive piece of oil field equipment rolls through Antigo

A enormous piece of industrial machinery bound for the oil sands region of western Canada created quite a stir along Highway 45 Tuesday and Wednesday.

The 208-foot tower is being transported from a fabricator in Green Bay to Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada, and traveled through Langlade County during dismal conditions Tuesday evening before parking for the day along Highway 45 at Pelican Lake.

The machinery is massive, measuring 18 feet wide, almost two-stories high and weighing 250 tons. The articulated trailer has 12 axles.
