I heard unconfirmed rumors that 511 is sitting at East Deerfield Yard with the new bluedip paint. Can anyone confirm? If this is true, that would mean that there are no more Pan Am "Smurfs" left in existence.

As of five days ago 511 was still a smurf. I suppose it's not impossible that it was repainted between then and now, but traditionally it has taken them a bit longer than that to paint and release a unit.

The person that reported it painted mistook the 505 for the 511. False alarm! Phew!

I don't think that PAR has painting this unit on their mind....The last time I saw this unit, which wasn't too long ago,
it looked as if it was just painted. It was clean and shining. It looked as if it was just painted, except for the grafitti.
So then why would they paint over a paint job that was in great shape? Andy

I heard that upper management wanted the 511 painted into the new scheme as the old scheme was no longer their company image.

If thats the case, you would really think they would be after all the grinchy units running around in gray. At least 511 has the right name on the side...

MEC 617 was sitting next to the round house this morning in new Pan Am paint.

Paint all the grey away in my opinion. It's an example of a very bad era in railroading.

The 77 was on EDPO yesterday heading east.
No word if it was running. Could be routine
or bad news......

I heard it has a blown motor, probably will spend some time at Waterville for replacement.
Anyone have an update on its location>?

It's like painting directly ontop of rust. Eventually the paint will flake and start showing the rust underneath.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. Sometimes the new boss aint the same as the old boss. Time will tell.
