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

I thought it was going to be about how to keep all the cars on the road from being inexorably drawn to it, flying through the air like the poster of The Lure of the Underground, and sticking tight to the magnet…

I mean, they tease with an image of a big horseshoe magnet, but I guess it’s an electromagnet, and wasn’t magnetized during transport—what’s the fun in that? :woman_shrugging:t2:
