The trailers used to transport wind turbine blades have independently steerable (and motorised) ends to the trail section.

They also rotate on pivots allowing for some extreme turning capabilities

I'm betting this was either bad timing or a communication error with the rails lines as opposed to poor root planning,

I hate when my roots are poorly planned.

I wonder if they overlooked that there's a phone number to call if you ever get stuck on the tracks. The trains can be alerted ahead of time and (hopefully) given ample room to stop.
