My guess about the rear unit is that it is a pusher and hydraulic unit as well. The twin diesel stacks suggest about 600 Hp, and there is a visible hydraulic cooler. I would suspect the rear power is particularly important for manuvering the rear end in tight quarters at low speed, kind of like when it needs to steer sideways to get around some corner. I suspect the load is lifted by large hydraulic cylinders to get sufficient road clearance. I wonder about going over bridges (I'm from MN and we had the huge I 35 W bridge go down in the Mississippi river 2 Augusts ago...with considerable loss of life!). Today's house moving dollys have vertical hydraulic cylinders to raise the house high enough to clear the railings on bridges that are too narrow for the house. But house moving is a very small % of the weight being hauled here. This has got to be one expensive haul!!
