How many lease units are coming total because at 405 pm i saw what looked like SEPO ( 2 Csx gevo's) and 3 trailing GATX GP38's . Are these going to Pan am or just running through?

The 38s may be going to NBSR/EMR/MNR.

Caught all these at Rigby on Sunday 4/22:

I'm pretty sure I saw the 3005 parked in Plaistow Saturday but I was on my way to work and couldn't stop to actually look. It was with CSX engines though but when i saw that CSX again the next day it was without what I think was the 3005.

It was quite nice to come back into Bucksport, ME this morning to find WABK coming in with GMTX 3001. Hopefully, it sticks around Northern Maine Junction for a while and pulls an SJPO or two.

I saw GMTX 3105 (GP40 in newer blue/white GATX paint) in Deerfield yesterday and hear she's on a 2-year lease to Pan Am (according to a VTR railfan, which is where the 3105 was last).

Edit: Seems to be true: http://photos.nerail.org/showpic/?photo ... age=6&key=

Who is responsible for the maintenance of a leased unit? Does the lessor ever inspect them during the course of the lease, or just when they are returned such as with a motor vehicle? Can they be lent to other roads to repay hours just like any other unit?

Isn't 3105 the one thta came in looking like a body shop reject? If so, when and where did it get painted?

According to Yahoogroups, yesterday's Q426 (SEPO) had LLPX 3109 trailing over the B&A.

I was just skyping with my grandmother and she live up near Mattawamkeag Maine and she said that either today or in the last couple days (i cant remember right off hand) that there where - " 2 or 3 yellow locomotives on the train when it went by, they said GSX or something like that" - My first thought was CSX, but csx isnt yellow with black stripes. That train would be either SJPO / SJWA or POSJ / POWA. Im not sure what its called now because the names change so often. Can anybody confirm (other then my grandma) what she saw?

[MEC407]

Hard to say for sure, but of the GP40s they're currently leasing, there are two that are yellow. 3003, seen here at East Deerfield:

And 3001, seen here at Bucksport:

3001 has prominent "GMTX" reporting marks, and it's in the right region, so it's highly likely that it's the one your grandmother saw.

Thanks. Shes my eyes for the "far east" of Pan Am. She keeps me informed while overseas.
