Going out with a bang
The closing days of 2020 may also be the closing days for PanAm railways. With news of a purchase by CSX transportation, every opportunity to shoot PanAm is a chance to capture history. I knew that PO-AY, Portland to Ayer, had a painted GE leader on it, and through some quick railfan calculations, figured I was probably good to get them in Lawrence.
My guess paid off right, as I captured them in stunning late afternoon winter lighting in Lawrence. In the background is the clock tower of the Ayer mill, which dates back to 1910. In the closing days of 2020, I captured one of my most iconic railroad images.
