Took a drive up to check out the power plant in Bow, NH this weekend (I'd never been up there before) and got rather lucky. The Providence and Worcester was switching the plant and put on a good show for myself, my girlfriend, and a couple of other fellows at the Old Ferry Road crossing. Sure, it's not technically Pan Am, but it's on Pan Am trackage (I think?) and besides, there's no P&W forum here :)

Though the train was P&W that was a Pan Am (ST) crew operating the train, same goes for NS power. You rarely will see Pan Am power on the Bow coal train these days! Track itself is owned by Pan Am (B&M).
