An electric transformer weighing more than 300,000 pounds is escorted by City of Xenia police vehicles as it makes its way down Progress Drive Tuesday afternoon. The equipment was being moved through Xenia and eastern Greene County on its way to its final destination at the Honda plant in Fayette County. Several area roads were to be shut down for several hours as the vehicles transporting the equipment drove through the city.
The transformer is roughly 135 feet long, 16 feet wide and close to 20 feet in height.
Many Xenia residents were lined up on the side of roadways to watch the transformer be escorted through the city.
