| Summary |
The sixth series of Monster Moves follows the high risk job of relocating the world's biggest packages. Each week, specialised teams of heavy hauling experts take on some of the most daring relocation projects ever as they move huge loads by road, rail, sea and air across the UK, USA, Europe and South America.Mammoth mansions, tall towers, supersized ships, colossal cathedrals, massive machines, huge hotels - no structure is off limits. The sixth season promises races against time and tides, rows over politics and red tape, and battles against hurricanes and heat waves hauling a wide range of massive machines and superstructures.A team of British engineers attempt to haul two historic A4 Pacific steam locomotives, each worth more than #2 million, more than five thousand miles across the Atlantic to the National Railway Museum in York. For specialist train trucker Andrew Goodman and his crew, this transatlantic train trek is their toughest challenge yet. The locomotives are no longer able to run under their own steam and need loading onto freight trains where there's the constant risk these massive but fragile machines could disintegrate.
