I think Pan Am Systems was using it for something... equipment servicing?

There was also one other 300-series unit but I couldn't see its number.

I drove by last night and the 610 plus 4 others were mated together. the 610 had come in on SEPO. I think it went east to lead POWA later

3001, the 3003 has been stuck on the SAPPI jobs for the last week or two.

A few weeks back they set off long strings of solid IATR double door highcubes in the storage area on the west side of the yard. Never had noticed those around here before. Not sure if they are being leased by Pan Am, or maybe one of the mills, or were just stored here temporarily. Haven't noticed any on the various jobs rolling thru yet.

It was posted over in another thread that the IATR's went to Waterville for contract work, and then off to the great white north for paper service on NBSR.

These are the same IATR 5600-5699 series (ex CHTT 380000-380099) cars that were stored on the NHCR over the past winter. These are big cars, 286K 68' double plug door cars.

Quiet morning at Rigby. MEC 518w and BM 333w were parked in front of the yard office at 8:45.

If you're over that way in the mornings you should try pre-ordering some of the C&D's (cronuts but they can't call them that) at Little Big's on Sundays. Assuming you're not gluten-sensitive or otherwise dessert-averse, of course.

Good idea! I've heard they're fantastic but have never tried them.

Swung by Rigby this evening and found SEPO arriving around 2000. After they cleared the west end POED departed...
