I just saw this one on facebook. It was a nice catch.

Even though 352 is an ex PC GP40, the MEC sub lettering rekindles some fond memories of two great roads. Who would have thought in 2014 old foes MEC and BAR would team up to pull some passenger cars in NY. Good stuff, thanks for the pictures.

That's the part I find truly remarkable: not one, but TWO ex-BAR BL2s operating in the year 2014! Heck, 20 years ago that would've been just as amazing.

Reminds me of the time Iron Roads borrowed one of Guilford's GP40s for the turn to Searsport.

St. Lawrence & Atlantic once leased a GRS GP40 as well (for a wreck cleanup, if I recall correctly... they may have leased the whole wreck train too).

SLR rented the wreck train a few times... and the first time they did Guilford sent up an SD45 highhood.

The name "Pan Am" does have a Class I ring to it. Delusions of grandeur? :wink: j/k
