Recently a photo of PAR 007 at Waterville after it ended up in the turntable pit was posted online. I have no idea if it is recent or not. I don't know who originally took the photo as it was posted by a satirical railroad news site.

Well, that's what happens when you forget to set the Handbrake.
The Land of Enchantment is not Flyover country!
I can't find a picture, but this thread from late 2010 viewtopic.php?t=77643 says Pan Am bought an SW1 from SLR and painted it to use as a Waterville switcher, numbering it 007. The thread went quiet in 2012. So if this is the same engine (it sounds like it) this turntable pic is less than 10 years old.
