How are large hydroelectric turbine rotors transported for refurbishment?

I recently watched a 60,000-lb hydroelectric turbine rotor being removed and transported for refurbishment. It was an impressive heavy-haul operation. What equipment and lifting methods are typically used for moving components this large?
 
hey, those moves are always fascinating to watch. I'd love to know whether they usually use specialized hydraulic trailers or if barges are the preferred option when a refurbishment shop isn't nearby.
