The AN-225's little brother the AN-124 was once used to fly a diesel locomotive from Canada to Ireland. It worked out cheaper for the train manufacture to pay to have it flown over, and meet the contractural delivery date, rather than shipping it by sea and paying the fine for missing the deadline.

That's pretty interesting! I see that train (or one very much like it) around Connolly station in Dublin when I'm commuting in and out of work.
