Time: 1:28 to 2:09 - those six trailers - they are used to carry Iron Ore - i know cause i did a lot of contracting towing exactly the same rig with my Kenworth T-908 prime mover - the whole rig weighs in at 200 tonne... they don't get any bigger than that in Australia and can be a real bitch to drive - specially when turning off it needs the whole road - total length is 70 metres (i think - but i never got round to measuring them - was bad enough towing them)
We do have winter here but we don't need to change our tyres as the tyres we have are quite often rated M&S (mud and snow) anyway! Where the 3B is found, it never, ever gets below 10 degrees overnight and above 25 in the day hours!
The Western Star side tipping road-train in this vid is called the 3B or, as it is affectionately known, "The Centipede". It has 110 tyres on 28 axles, a 550hp Caterpillar engine and 18 speed Roadranger gearbox... they have built two of them!
I would love to Pull a train like that through Houston on the Southwest Freeway at 5pm. Would no doubt get a few one finger salutes. I get that anyway with just my 48ftX102" Fontaine and my W900L Kenworth.

In the states all our iron ore mines are near the great lakes & go direct to a ship so we don't get to use road trains much. damn pity.
