High/Wide transformer move from Portland to Wells

Somehow this managed to slip through "under the radar" of railfans and rail transportation enthusiasts: several days ago, PAR transported a massive electrical transformer from Portland to Wells, where it was offloaded and transported by road to its final destination in Kennebunk.

From the York County Coast Star:

The article doesn't give any details about the rail portion of the move, but I'm guessing it was unloaded at the siding on Depot Road in Wells, near the propane terminal and the old B&M station. I'd love to know where exactly in Portland (or South Portland?) it was unloaded from the ship and transferred to rail. Turners Island in South Portland seems like the most obvious location.

They say this company doesn't do this type of move too much. It just did another 286 ton transformer move for CMP from Searsport to Windsor. It is always something to see when they move them this size. The Last transformer came into Merrills Marine Terminal and was loaded onto the railcar on the wye.

Thanks for the info!

Here is a link to the story on the Searsport move, non rail but interesting none the less.
