How to transport a 17-ton, 50-foot wide magnet halfway across the country?

I reckon there must be heaps of similarly expensive scientific equipment out there that collects dust simply because trying to move it anywhere is just too much of a logistical nightmare.

That’s what I was thinking. I expect textbook authors would salivate over the exposition they could write about moving something like that too quickly through a steel tunnel, or something.
