So, "the Last Smurf" has the old aircraft-style lettering on one side, and the old meatball logo on the other? Did one side get tagged & have to be repainted?

No, it was painted that way from the beginning.

Assuming accurate transmission, accurate reception, and accurate note-taking at 0528/07-01-2015, 511 was the leader on POED working Fitchburg.

SoleSurvivingSmurf 511 was led by OldPaint 317 and NewBlue 337 and trailed by NewBlues 601 and 518 west of the OOS Pleasant Street OHB as POED held on 2 in Gardner before and presumably after 0700/10-02-2015 for 22K and EDPO.

Smurf captured in the gloom of Friday Oct 9, 2015 as middle unit of oddball EDPO power set at Groton-Harvard Rd in Ayer.
Is there a Smurfette somewhere?

Caught 511 as middle unit of three at Waterville this noon, pointed East. Thinking headed for Bangor as there were many MT center beams in the mix. Could not stay around. Later at Bangor the lights near Bog road showed RED, something was East bound ? Of more interest was the third unit in the mix was 52 with 374 as lead unit. Will try to get to Bangor tomorrow to see if I can catch them before they head West again.

511 is currently parked directly on the Broadway overpass in South Portland. I grabbed a pic I will post later.

Take this picture again tomorrow and it'll be a very different scene (and not because the unit will be gone... at least I hope it is by then!)

Gotta love the "Guilford Fail System" loco... 
(I'm surprised a "Pan Am Failways" loco hasn't appeared yet)
