Last One to Leave, Turn Out the Lights
Well, we've reached the day where Pan Am will cease to exist as an independent entity, as on 6/1/22 it will transition to a CSX property. Operationally they were a long way from perfect (and sometimes short of competent), but they were hardly 'the railroad everyone loved to hate'. Personally, I spent a lot of time on this road over the past 12 years and while they could be a frustrating, feast or famine enterprise where patience was mandatory, I found the experience of having to work for your shot rewarding. I didn't take a picture of a train until 2009, and frankly 99% of my shots from that 2009-2014 are garbage. But occasionally I was able to get a keeper. This is one of the earliest survivors, a POED with a pair of GP40 widecabs at Wachusett in February 2010. As Edward R. Murrow liked to say, 'Good night and good luck.'
