I saw what (to me) seemed an unusual vehicle today on Barnum Road in Ayer. It was a big commercial Ford 650 or 850, white cab with blue fenders and cab roof, blue bed and toolboxes. It had an air compressor behind the can and a hydraulic crane at the rear. Between them and the toolboxes was a bin of rusty metal pieces, some of which seemed to be tie plates. On the cab door was a blue on white version of the winged globe logo seen on the Phase II locomotives except with "Pan Am Railways" just inside the top of the wing.

It looked like a great truck to model. Can anyone tell me how many of these they have? Do they use that logo on other vehicles? most of the ones I see around here are either unmarked, or still marked Guilford.
