Photos have captured the moment a lorry transported another 164-tonne load through Wisbech on Thursday (May 22).
The extraordinary convoy, which weighed 363 tonnes in total, made its way through the Fenland town with a police escort.
It travelled at a speed of 10mph due to the size of the load, a transformer measuring 64m in length and 4.1m in height.
Setting of from Sutton Bridge in Lincolnshire, it's the second convoy to travel through Wisbech to the Suffolk village of Walpole.
On Sunday (May 18), aerial photographs captured the first transformer as it made its way over Freedom Bridge with the combined weight of two ballast tractors and an 18-axle tractor.

Thursday's load was escorted with help from Lincolnshire police, Bedfordshire, Herefordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk forces.
A spokesperson for Lincolnshire Constabulary said the load was unable to move during the hours of darkness as "most of the roads in Lincolnshire are not fully lit."
They added: "For the overall safety of our road users, the abnormal load crew and our officers, we move abnormal loads when it is safe to so.
"The route taken has been approved by National Highways and local councils. A more direct route is not always feasible for abnormal loads of this size and length."
