A few months ago I caught an LRV in the process of being delivered. They bring them in on a 89 foot flat car, use a UP diesel to push them out of the 10th street yard, and over the LRV tracks, by diesel, and into the old Maintenance building thats over there.

Quite a sight actually, not sure how they get it off the flat car, I just managed to catch the UP diesel and flat car sitting getting ready to cross over the LRV mainline as I was returning from Union Station on night on the Light Rail
