In the shop. Don't know how its progressing.

that the PAR2 has been out of service since January 2015.
Anyone have details? Thanks...

The train hasn't been out recently, and its stored indoors. So major mechanical failure seems pretty unlikely. It is currently on the "deadline" so I'd imagine its waiting time for a slot in the shop. Inspection might be up or just some regular maintenance. Can't have the boss's pretty train breaking down.

Thank's for the heads up on the dome car.

Should have qualified that with "but its been there since it gone back from its shakedown run in the fall of 2013..."

OCS backing onto the Rumford Br to meet POWA. Will head west to Rigby following that.

Edit, okay to Poland 11:05 4/9

Both locos or just one?

Did not get a visual, car problems and what not. Plus its crappy and gray. Wasn't worth it. Sorry bout that.

Edit:
Derek says train into Portland, PAR1, PAR2, ST100, ST101.

Report of a Pan Am office car special move out of Northampton on the Conn River Line this morning. Anyone have details?

Is this an MBTA coach with the OCS?

That might be a MBTA Cab car from that pic.

Pan Am has been using one of our German cars, 532 I think, for the last year for training purposes for the local fire departments so that they can improve their skills as to emergency evacuation. They were probably bringing it back from a training exercise, it has been living at East Deerfield for some time now.

PAR OCS west by Dover after #685, which was one hour late. Destination/occasion unknown...

Mechanicville I heard. Forgot to post on here about it when it passed through Auburn at 3:20

Resting at East Deerfield today.

There's speculation on CPR Sunbury Sub Yahoo forum that Pan Am OCS cars may be attached to NS OCS train, pulled by NS' handsome F units, and hauled up the D&H to Pan Am all the way to Boston North Station (!?!?!) late this week. Not sure what the motivation for the run is.
