The Roving Rooster Roves Again!

The Roving Rooster, whose origins seem to date to 2014 ( Roving Rooster Railroad Award), has enjoyed his time in the Land of Aloha, gracing the rails of the Triple O since Jon (@JRad ) sent him over the Pacific. Despite a change to rove again to lend a had in National Garden Railroad Convention 2025 – A Tropical Take , the Roving Rooseter, like the western wind, is made to wander…

The rails called the Roving Rooster onward beyond the confines of No’u’ea…

…it was an old song, a song that this bird could no longer ignore, so, after bidding farewell to his host, Two Timin’ Tom, the Triple O’s guardian fowl since about 2019 or so…

…the Roving Rooster grabbed his suitcase, jumped aboard…

…and headed out on a new adventure!

The lonesome whistle wailed as the train disappeared into the mountains at Deadman’s Curve, effectively serving as the Roving Rooster’s long farewell. Two Timin’ Tom resumed his lonesome watch, awaiting word that his new found friend had arrived at his latest, of still temporary home. But where will that home be?

To be continued…

The Roving Rooster !

Too funny Eric, with him packing his bags and boarding a train, heading to… I wonder where he will turn up next and it is great to see him on the move again.

The Rooster visited my RR back in 2014 and scratched around in the turntable pit.
