I've seen catering trucks along Rockaway Blvd., but this was a new type of spotting.
As I was walking through Canal and Broadway there was a huge flatbed truck blocking the entire intersection. Apparently the truck went through thinking traffic would move along and there would be space for it, but traffic got jammed and the truck had nowhere to go.
On it was a single metal dolly with Continental markings. I looked up and there was a jet engine with a Rolls-Royce cover protecting it. It looked like a Trent 500 or 800. The only thing on the cover was a packaging slip with Iberia-marked tape.
The truck was driving towards the West Side, so I'll guess it was coming from JFK and going to EWR...but for who?
A very cool sighting, and I wish I had my camera with me.
