"The loads were destined for Possum Point, at Dumfries, VA, however, it made its way to Newport News, and sat in the yard for about 10 days. Then they began to ship out, a few at a time, until all were eventually gone. I'm assuming these equipment was for a refit at the Dominion-VA Power plant located at Possum Point."
