September, 2011 was a little over a year into the f-unit era on Pan Am Railways. It still seemed pretty surreal to be out chasing their business train with the pair of ex Conway Scenic/Canadian National FP9's. A month before ST GP9 #77 had come out of the Waterville paint shop in B&M maroon and gold. A couple months later, in November, ST GP9 #52 was painted in an adaption of the simplified MEC green paint scheme. Fast forward 7 years and the business train has gone from once or twice a year to a somewhat frequent move now featuring an ex Wabash Budd dome car. With the purchase of a large fleet of GE B40-8's and C40-8's, the heritage geeps have become surplus and have been sold, likely leaving the property any day now. In this shot the "sisters" are crossing the Androscoggin River at Great Falls from Lewiston into Auburn.
