The Empty Coal Train blasts across School Street |
Description: |
This was my first time seeing a train "speeding" across the recently upgraded Stony Brook Branch. The line speed is now 25 MPH up from 10 MPH which doesn't sound like much but makes a huge difference! |

EDPO waits in the Woods |
Description: |
In an unusual move the dispatcher brought EDPO out of the siding at CPF-307 but only as far as the automatic signal at MP 304. Ahead at CPF-303 is 6 miles of double track so I'm not sure they brought the train out of the siding for only 3 miles. |

Description: |
After a second repaint in Pan Am colors and some other cosmetic fixes MEC 7542 leads POAY west at the Scarborough Marsh. This unit was painted again due to being chosen to run the Office Car Special in the PTC areas of Massachusetts since the FP9's don't have the equipment installed. This unit led WAPO down the night before and is now back to freight duties until the next time it is needed on the OCS. Trailing power on POAY is MEC 7643, MEC 7609 and MEC 7517. |

This pic right here by far made the trip! I really wanted to get at least one 6-axle Pan Am painted unit leading a road train, and of all things this one was freshly painted less than a week ago! This would not have been possible without the help of my new friend I made, amazing what can happen when you talk to new people! |

In a scene depicting the transitional era from Pan Am to CSX, a late WAPO crosses the Androscoggin River from Lewiston into Auburn, Maine with MEC 7542 - MEC 7605 - MEC 310 - CSXT 6536 and 99 cars. While no CSX road power has been utilized yet east of Rigby, numerous four axle units and two six axle units have been transported to the Waterville shops since June to be reactivated into service after being stored at various yards on the CSX system. Only one of those units; CSXT 2548 has been used on Pan Am so far. |
