Monson 3 and 4 in Portland

(1/3) > >>

Brendan Barry:
Tuesday Monson number 3 was delivered to Portland to be used for Polar Express this Christmas and Monson number 4 was placed back in the museum for display. I understand number 3 will head back to the Sandy River in Phillips this summer.

Three arriving and being unloaded.
 












Four outside the engine house.



Three and four posed for pictures.













The engines were then switched out and four was trucked across the parking lot to the museum building.









Four just unloaded from the truck at the museum door.

Ira Schreiber:
A great photo essay. Thanks.

Philip Marshall:
Great photos, Brendan! It's so nice to see Monson 3 and 4 together again.

It's apparent that Number 4 really is slightly bigger than Number 3, not withstanding Moody's claim that he could never tell them apart except by counting the number of steps on the cab. :)

Stewart "Start" Rhine:
Nice pics B.

#3 looks good with the aluminum lettering and no markers, like it looked when in service on the Monson.

James Patten:
And NO brass bands!
