POED 611 at Winnock's Neck
Pan Am POED with MEC 611 - MEC 605 heads west in golden December light through the Scarborough Marsh three miles out of Rigby Yard.
Back then scenes like this could pretty much be taken for granted as POED ran daily and the majority of the 600 class was painted. Times change unfortunately and today the only remaining SD40-2's in Pan Am paint are the 3400's but ACSES requirements in Keolis territory greatly restrict what can lead in most of District 2. POED also isn't a daily train anymore, departing Rigby about 2-3 times a week and not always in daylight.
