Here is what appears to be a 800 waiting on a side rail.

Check out this month's Civil Engineering magazine. The cover story describes all of the logistics involved in transporting the Space Shuttle Endeavor -- something that weighs as much as a fully-loaded 767-300 -- from a hangar at LAX out to a science museum near downtown LA.

(and to make this post Delta-related, the Endeavor has a Delta-shaped wing. )
