Yeah, I regularly delete frames like that.....assuming I have something better. Still, I am glad someone took that shot and even more glad that it survives today.

I saw the comment about the locomotive weight. If that rotary was the same unit (#1) I saw in 2011, it weighs 154,000 lbs, which is more than a 70-class Mike.
