PAR1 In Worcester
Just a low angle portrait of a decidedly out of place locomotive!
Pan Am Railways OCS locomotive PAR1 is on display in the Keolis/MBTA Worcester layover yard for the New England Railroad Club's annual Railtech Conference: www.nerailroadclub.com/about-us/
The GMDD FP9A was blt. Sep. 1954 as CN 6505 and passed from CN to VIA Rail in 1978 before being picked up by the Conway Scenic in 1995 along with sister unit 6515 when they expanded into Crawford Notch. After 15 years spent hauling tourists in the White Mountains the pair would become PAR 1 and 2 when traded to Pan Am Railways in March 2010 for GP38 252 and GP35 216.
