The retired Rotary #3 is heading to Curry as part of a future static display. Check out the exciting photos captured by the lucky railfans who caught it during its move.

I followed the trip of old #3 yesterday as far as Wasilla, and thought you might be interested in them. These pictures were taken at the Birchwood Crossing, along the Glenn, and at Wasilla.

Engine 2002 is pulling Rotary #3 from Anchorage to Curry for display, moving light, at a stately 25mph. Photo #1 is approaching the Old Glenn Highway undercrossing, in the shadow of the hill; photo #2 is almost at the undercrossing, out from the shadow of the hill, by the short siding, which is why the steep angle. Photo #3 is crossing the Parks Highway just south of Beautiful Downtown Houston. There isn't a whole lot of room between the edge of the woods and the bridge, so all I could get was the bridge and the rotary, with the top of 2002 showing. Photo #4 is on the other side, and the power pole's positioning didn't leave a whole lot of choice, either. The other two I got were even worse, as it disappeared into the woods on the other side, with the pole moving along the train. I wanted both of them clear of the bridge, and probably waited about 1/4 second too long. It was really cold out there in the wind, so my fingers didn't work as intended.
