A massive transformer is in place after a big, but slow move by state troopers. The 972,000 pound transformer was moved through northwest Omaha in the middle of the night Tuesday.

The night’s objective: to move the transformer another 4 miles west on its 27-mile, eight-day overland journey – most of it along Maryland roads.
